Yes, although there is no urgency.

I'd say they should be set in the `declare' part of the definition of
the macro. See the definition of `when' or `unless' for examples.
Unless it's common to edit code that uses the macro while the macro itself
is not loaded, in which case it might be worthwhile to put the `put' in some
other file like lisp-mode.el.
