I do not use /usr/src or /usr/obj myself instead I use /builds/src etc. The way I do this is having a /etc/mk.conf file like this.
PIPE=-pipe BSDOBJDIR=/builds/obj BSDSRCDIR=/builds/src XENOCARA_OBJDIR=/builds/Xobj XOBJDIR=/builds/Xobj XENOCARA_TOP=/builds/xenocara XSRCDIR=/builds/xenocara WRKOBJDIR=/builds/pobj PORTSDIR=/builds/ports DISTDIR=/builds/distfiles PACKAGE_REPOSITORY=/builds/packages Look at the man page for mk.conf and make your own.
