Hello,

Having made a better effort of reading both the manual and source code,
it turns out what I needed was there all along.  The command:

	make -r -f /applications/clayton/root/usr/share/mk/sys.mk -f Makefile .....

will achieve what I was after.  Where

	-r	don't use builtin rules (actually standard system makefile)

	-f *	include first the local system make file and then the current
		directories make file.
