freebsd stable - Jan 2017 - SVN_UPDATE not respected by /usr/ports/Makefile?

Using a fresh install of FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1, I was trying to use
/usr/bin/svnlite as a ports upgrade.

I've set SVN_UPDATE=yes and SVN=/usr/bin/svnlite in /etc/make.conf IAW the
manfile for make.conf, but running 'make update' within /usr/ports seems
to try portsnap regardless.

I haven't preseeded /usr/ports/ with svnlite, but I'm wondering if
there's any guidance regarding using svnlite or if there's a pending
update to the portion of the ports documentation regarding svn that reflects
svnlite as part of the base install.

Don't know about manfile of make.conf (since SVN client IS included in base
now)
system, but maybe https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/svn.html will help
you.

I don't use svn for ports, but you should probably start with an empty
directory.
