Yes. If you look at share/mk/src.sys.env.mk it detects that it was found via a .../ path, and replaces it in MAKESYSPATH with the actual location - otherwise some makefiles break. > So maybe I have to set MAKESYSPATH every time I am in ports, don't > know if this would work from /etc/make.conf (need to experiment). Probably not, because sys.mk will have already been found before that ie. the damage may already have been done > I wonder what would happen if there is no FreeBSD installation at all > on partition where ports tree is located.

Per above; that's due to the default .../share/mk I was speaking about alternatives to that magic value.
