What do you mean by "doesn't work"?  I have used
something similar for a
long time, and it works for me.  However, sudo doesn't work
well when
$ or $ don't exist, so I also test for them. 
Here's
the relavent part of my mk.conf file:

.if exists($) && exists($)
.  for _sudo_cmd in $/bin/sudo /usr/pkg/bin/sudo
/usr/local/bin/sudo
.    if exists($)
SU_CMD?=$ /bin/sh -c            # requires
security/sudo package
.    endif
.  endfor
SU_CMD?=/usr/bin/su -m root -c  # "su -m" does not
clobber environment
.endif

There's no cyclic dependency.  Because if the ".if
exists" test, sudo
won't be used if it's not already installed.
