No, because /etc/mk.conf is pulled in by bsd.own.mk, but later on
in that makefile CFLAGS is set directly (with CFLAGS=), overriding
what you've done. I think you need to set COPTS instead. Make sure
you set your optimisation level, too, because the COPTS?=-O2 won't
take effect if you've already set COPTS.

Of course, another approach to solving your problem would be to
set up /tmp as an MFS on your machine, and set TMPDIR=/tmp in your.
You can mount /tmp as an MFS with the following line in your fstab:

swap            /tmp            mfs     rw,-s131072,async,nodev,nosuid  0 0
