"depends". For most people, it won't be worth the effort.
However, you want to make sure that

- ssh and pgp are compiled for 68060 support, if you use them a lot
- libm as well floating-point-intensive programs are compiled for M68060
  support.

For the ssh and pgp "pkg"es, add the line 

M68060=yes

to your /etc/mk.conf, and rebuild them.

For libm and libc, add the lines

COPTS+=-m68060 -pipe -Wa,-m68040
M68060=yes
