The reason for the existence of /etc/init.d, /etc/conf.d, /etc/env.d, /etc/cron.d, etc. is not to arbitrarily split up configuration files into smaller sections. It's for a single reason: To allow the files to be installed by separate packages. Since /etc/make.conf is installed by a single package (portage, of course), the logic used for the other /etc/*.d directories doesn't apply.
