Unless you are enabling CPU specific optimizations in make.conf(5) (i.e. CPUTYPE=x or in your case CPUTYPE=k6) the procedure you have above is platform agnostic. Just do what you would normally do on an Intel platform. If you wish to use CPU specific optimizations, then make sure you look at the man page for make.conf(5) and /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf -Ash
