This is incorrect.  

pkgtools.conf is the configuration file for portupgrade and the other 
package-tools installed by the portupgrade port.  Portmanager has recently 
aquired the ability to read  pkgtools.conf, but it is not a system file, and 
it is not read by the ports system if you use the make targets directly. 

If you want  to set options in a more general way, put them in make.conf, 
using "alternative configuration" method given on the portmanager man-page.
