That is actually one of the few files that you can just copy out of
/etc/defaults to /etc and not come to grief. If you look at
/etc/defaults/make.conf, you'll see that all the entries are actually
commented out: they're just there to document what's available. It
also means that you could just create an empty file for /etc/make.conf
without ill effects, but it's more usual to put some local
configuration in there.
Cheers,
Matthew
