No, I read the man page :-)  I may be stupid, but I am not lazy :-))  =
The man page also helpfully says "This man page may occasionally be out =
of date" so, while it's a useful document, it is not necessarily the =
final arbiter of correctness.

What confused me was that /etc/default/make.conf had disappeared.

Other replies have made it clear that the user is free to copy =
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf to /etc/make.conf, and edit as =
desired.

What I am still unclear about is why the /etc/default/make.conf file has =
disappeared in 5.x. But that is a less important question.

Looks like you did not look at the man page.

from make.conf(5):

FILES
     /etc/make.conf
     /usr/doc/Makefile
     /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf
     /usr/src/Makefile
     /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
