You don't strictly /need/ to set the CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf -- but
you can if you like.  It's a trade-off between getting some CPU specific
compiler optimizations (which may or may not result in better performance)
and being able to move compiled objects to machines with different CPUs.

An appropriate setting in your case would be:

~  CPUTYPE?= core2

but there are usually several alternatives which would work.
