I see. I'm still not convinced that it's desirable to use the
first-stage compiler for the case of updating just a single program, but
that's been discussed to death already, so whatever.

I'm not sure I follow you. No third party app is going to recognize
BSD_PKG_MK itself, anyway, so passing it into the package build
environment will simply tend to meet users expectations as far as
setting up "/etc/mk.conf" is concerned. "bsd.own.mk" shouldn't care
about it.
