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
