I guess "bootstrap" means "the bootstrap script inside 
bootstrap-mk-files", not "the pkgsrc bootstrap script".

Why would bmake not exit?  Surely you have bootstrapped pkgsrc 
(via pkgsrc/bootstrap/bootstrap, if pkgsrc is not a native part of 
your OS), and that would have built bmake, before you try to build 
and install pkgsrc/pkgtools/botostrap-mk-files?

Really?  You are trying to build and install a pkgsrc package 
without using the normal pkgsrc infrastructure?  That was not at 
all clear to me.

OK, if you insist on doing that, then you won't be able 
to re-use results that were already figured out by 
pkgsrc/bootstrap/bootstrap, but you can at least use the same 
techniques as are used there.
