While we in MirPorts don't need¹ it, I think you can override it
by specifying make sysconfdir=/usr/pkg/share/examples/lynx install
(that would be ${FAKE_FLAGS} in mirports, no idea about pkgsrc).

Do you still install to / directly (if pkgviews aren't used)?

¹) Since we do fake installs, /etc is never directly overwritten²,
   and I was lazy and did a mv ${WRKINST}${SYSCONFDIR}/lynx.*
   ${PREFIX}/share/examples/lynx/ in post-install in our port.
