Ideally not.  Changing PREFER_PKGSRC after bootstrap is almost always
guaranteed to result in broken builds, so anything that gets added to
mk/defaults/mk.conf has to pretty much stay there forever whether it's
correct or not.  This is why we have a bunch of crap in there now that
we can't really delete.

It's probably better to add it to bootstrap like we did recently for
Linux.
