Yes, you're right.

Putting COPTIONS+=blah in mk.conf disables -O2

With :
/usr/tools/bin/powerpc--netbsd-gcc  -msoft-float  -ffreestanding 
    -mcpu=7400 -mtune=7400 -Wreturn-type -Werror -Wall -Wno-main
    -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes
    -Wno-uninitialized  -Dmacppc

Without :
/usr/tools/bin/powerpc--netbsd-gcc  -msoft-float  -ffreestanding  -O2
    -Wreturn-type -Werror -Wall -Wno-main -Wpointer-arith
    -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-uninitialized  -Dmacppc
    

Why does this happen ? the "+=" stands for "keep previous options, then add",
doesn't it ?
