When and why it was changed?
/usr/local/etc/my.cnf was there for a decade and I remember the problem (mysql
not starting after upgrade) with unintentional change in early versions of
MariaDB port where /usr/local/etc/my.cnf was ignored.

This is not expected result and thus it should be mentioned in UPDATING file.

I know it is displayed by rc script, but it doesn't help in automated
environments. UPDATING is there for things like this.

I also think that all mysql ports (mysql / mariadb / percona) should use the
same config locations and similar rc scripts even if they are maintained by
different persons. These ports should work as compatible replacements.
For example MariaDB supports instances.
