The default value for MAKESYSPATH is ".../share/mk:/usr/share/mk" which
is geared to building src/, there was some to and fro over that value
when we first started using bmake, but that's what we settled on.

Presumably /BETA1/usr/share/mk exists?
If so, it will be found via .../share/mk if you start somewhere under
/BETA1/usr/ports

Not a bug - working as intended, which doesn't mean it is doing what you
want.

You can of course set MAKESYSPATH as you wish, but of course
/usr/share/mk would not be correct for building src/
