Why does bsd.port.mk override make's search for Makefiles...?

No, OpenBSD fixed this four years ago:
   <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-
bin/cvsweb/ports/infrastructure/mk/bsd.port.mk.diff?r1=1.209&r2=1.210>

MAKEFILE is a variable set by make(1), so any MAKEFILE= on the command 
line, or any MAKEFILE?= in Makefile is overwritten. Also is is 
impossible to try out alternate port makefiles with `make -f'.

Sorry when I've been a bit to overenthusiastic, but this has been very 
annoying (during testing) and it is about time we fix this.
