make.conf(5):
     The file make.conf contains system-wide settings that will apply to every
     build using make(1) and the standard sys.mk file.

src.conf(5):
     The src.conf file contains settings that will apply to every build
     involving the FreeBSD source tree; see build(7).

The MALLOC_PRODUCTION define is used inside the FreeBSD source tree
(actually only in jemalloc, it seems).

You most likely don't want it to apply 'globally', since third-party
programs (e.g. ports) might give a totally different meaning to this
define -- or most likely: no meaning at all. :)
