/etc/make.conf now included earlier.
sys.mk now includes /etc/make.conf and {local,src}.sys.mk earlier
than previously.
This makes it simple to interpose external toolchains etc.
However it may cause problems for users who have things like::
INSTALL+= something
in /etc/make.conf, since INSTALL is not yet defined.
A safe fix for that is to have::
INSTALL?= install
INSTALL+= something
which is equivalent to previous behavior.

FreeBSD's old make (fmake) has been removed from the system. It is
available as the devel/fmake port or via pkg install fmake.
