In FreeBSD they have /etc/make.conf
You set CPUTYPE=<YOUR_CPU> there, and
/usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk will read it, and set -march for CPUCFLAGS

This variable is used by ports, kernel, and any random Makefile may use it.
(There are similar things in Linux Gentoo also)

But OpenBSD /etc/mk.conf does not have it nor bsd.cpu.mk
exists in /usr/share/mk

So, OpenBSD does not use this approach, right?
But why? Is it because most ports ignore it?
