Actually, I'm using MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX.  The only thing I want to do is,

o Nightly buildworld in /work/HEAD/src, /work/RELENG_5_0/src and
  /work/RELENG_5_1/src with MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/work/${BRANCH}/obj.
o Use /work/${BRANCH}/{src,obj} for installing the world on the other
  box.

But without this patch, I have symlinks like this:

% ls -l /work/RELENG_5_1/obj/work/RELENG_5_1/src/bin/csh/csh.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 god  god  56 Jun  2 05:40 /work/RELENG_5_1/obj/work/RELENG_5_1/src/bin/csh/csh.1 -> /work/RELENG_5_1/src/bin/csh/../../contrib/tcsh/tcsh.man

This causes problem when installing on the other box as mounting
/usr/src and /usr/obj.

I'll appreciate if you can teach me how to build absolute-path-free
objdir in another way...
