Put the line
	COPTS=-O3

(without leading whitespace) in /etc/mk.conf. Do note that the
according to the manpage, optimization greater than -O3 has no effect
on the GCC shipped with NetBSD. On some ports, -O2 gives better
results than -O3 (and is certainly better tested).

In general, yes;, though the details depend on which NetBSD port
you're asking about.  (For some ports the answer is be "no".  On some
platforms (like i386) you merely have to run "installboot" after
creating the new LFS filesystem. On yet other ports you may have to
build and install special bootblocks.
Which platform are you running on?
