My initial reaction is "no."  Those who are using __MAKE_CONF and
SRCCONF in such an environment know why they are doing so.  So, in my
opinion, it is up to them to modify the end-release as needed.

Since __MAKE_CONF and SRCCONF are pointing to /dev/null in release
builds, I do not see this as necessary.  Moreso, I do not want to
introduce a level of confusion where /etc/make.conf and/or /etc/src.conf
are modified within the release, or worse, in an altogether different
location.  There is too much complexity here.
