I don't know where you found this, but it's not used by the current 
nrelease framework.

The nrelease framework is used to build our release and snapshot images 
(ISO and IMG).

To build a custom image with extra packages, just do:

$ cd /usr/src/nrelease
$ make release binpkgs \
       DPORTS_EXTRA_PACKAGES="lang/gcc12 math/lapack math/blas 
math/openblas"

When it finishes, the ISO and IMG images are at /usr/obj/release.

You can find the available nrelease targets and options with:

$ make -f /usr/src/nrelease/Makefile

and it current shows:

------------------------------------------
Targets:
   release     - full build from scratch
   quick       - attempt to do an incremental rebuild
   realquick   - attempt to restart after world & kernel
   restartpkgs - attempt to restart at the pkg building stage

Optional targets:
   nopkgs      - do not install any packages
   binpkgs     - use binary packages with pkg(8)
   gui         - do a GUI release

Variables:
   DPORTS_EXTRA_PACKAGES: add additional packages
   GITURL_SRC: override the Git URL to source repository
   GITURL_DPORTS: override the Git URL to dports repository
   IMGSIZE: override the size of .img (in 512-byte sectors)
   IMGSIZE_MB: override the size of .img (in units of MB)
   NREL_MAKE_JOBS: override the default value (sysctl hw.ncpu)
   PKG_<port>: specify the package name for port <port>
   WITHOUT_SRCS: do not package source code if set
------------------------------------------

Hope it helps you.

Cheers,
