You get two answers here.
1) 1777 on /var/mail is bad, bad, bad. Don't do that.
2) The easiest way to override the permissions and ownerships enforced
during a make world is to use CVS to update your sources so that your
local hacks to src/etc/mtree/BSD.*.dist are not overwritten on
update.
There are other ways, but the bottom line is that you should find a
way to ensure that those files are modified to your taste before
every world update.
