  I?ve installed FreeBSD 6.1 and have a question.  Is it normal for there to not
  be a make.conf file in either /etc or /etc/defaults?

Yes, see /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for examples.
Since things in make.conf usually affect code compilation,
defaults are basically build into Makefiles etc rather than
a file in /etc.  /etc/make.conf will need to be created for
permanent overrides.
