The only thing I can think of, which also may be the reason that it's called 'pre-buildworld' mode, is that it checks /etc/make.conf against the make.conf from your sources. If any new knobs and/or options have been introduced, you might want to tweak those first before you start building... Personally, I always run mergemaster -p just after cvsupping and reading UPDATING, just to see if I didn't miss anything. :)
