The path should relative, to guarantee the same result for every
location you can put the source.

Rather use:
CXXFLAGS+=-frandom-seed=${.IMPSRC:S/^${.CURDIR}\///}
which is rather contorted, but I see no other way to generate a relative
path. :)
Also, this generates an empty '-frandom-seed=' option for every command
that uses CXXFLAGS but isn't a compilation at all, such as most linking
commands. It is probably not harmful, though.
