Considering the PKG_DBDIR doesn't require ports being installed I fail to 
see why duplicating it to a location that's system-wide would be a problem. 
If that is a problem then maybe a global environment file should be put 
into place that will export that variable directly to user-land for 
consumption.

FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is already set via login.conf. Would there be any harm in 
exporting one more for PKG_DBDIR instead of having that in the Make files 
at all ?

I think something a little more solid should become of this variable than 
whats in place now.
