I don't quite use it this way.

I use the three files located at http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/ and I always
put them in my /etc directory (just for easy access).

make.conf is empty during a standard FreeBSD installation, but by putting
(some) of these options in it, you'll be able to update the ports by cd-ing
to /usr/ports and typing in 'make update'.

It's way better this way.
