make buildkernel does not respect KERNCONF or JOBS in /etc/make.conf

From /usr/src/Makefile.inc1:

   1137 .if ${TARGET_ARCH} == "powerpc64"
   1138 KERNCONF?=      GENERIC64
   1139 .else
   1140 KERNCONF?=      GENERIC
   1141 .endif
   [...]
   1149 BUILDKERNELS=
   1150 INSTALLKERNEL=
   1151 .if defined(NO_INSTALLKERNEL)
   1152 # All of the BUILDKERNELS loops start at index 1.
   1153 BUILDKERNELS+= dummy
   1154 .endif
   1155 .for _kernel in ${KERNCONF}
   1156 .if exists(${KERNCONFDIR}/${_kernel})
   1157 BUILDKERNELS+=  ${_kernel}
   1158 .if empty(INSTALLKERNEL) && !defined(NO_INSTALLKERNEL)
   1159 INSTALLKERNEL= ${_kernel}
   1160 .endif
   1161 .endif
   1162 .endfor

So setting BUILDKERNELS has no effect.
