Hmm, how about:
env MAKESYSPATH=/usr/pkg/share/mk:/usr/share/mk bmake test
Is it also works fine?

Yes, if not define MAKESYSPATH, works well.

When start up bmake, first, try to read sys.mk.
By default, try to ${_PATH_DEFSYSPATH}/sys.mk.
But when MAKESYSPATH is defined, for example, 
MAKESYSPATH=/usr/pkg/share/mk:/usr/share/mk
then first, try to read /usr/pkg/share/mk/sys.mk,
second, try to read /usr/share/mk/sys.mk
even if it already read /usr/pkg/share/mk/sys.mk.
