No, it's just that you haven't installed any ports on your 7.0 system
yet.  Once you do that, /usr/local will be populated as you expect.

/etc/make.conf you just have to write yourself.  There isn't a default
version.  You can look at /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf and make.conf(5)
for guidance.

	Cheers,
