Just sharing the same opinion..
i think  yr step is fair and good enuff since u're  also go thru mergemaster 
steps..
mine also do the same step since 4.x and it works fine for me with no errors or 
anything weird..
my make.conf:

# added by use.perl 2006-08-22 09:40:06
PERL_VER=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe
NO_PROFILE=true
CPUTYPE?=pentium4

in your /etc/make.conf u just stated "NO_PROFILE=" with blank statements.. can 
we consider is as "false"?
