Yes, set it as you set CFLAGS in make.conf, but it depends on the 
particular software whether it respects this macro or not. If this 
doesn't work for a software, you have to dig in the Makefile and set 
LDFLAGS there to enforce your custom LDFLAGS.

Anyway, you can set any macro in make.conf and the whole content of the 
file will be exported when running make, but note that this happens 
before processing a particular Makefile, so Makefiles can override your 
make.conf.
Look at any Makefile. It'll override LDFLAGS if you find a line like this:
LDFLAGS=-bla -bla
And your make.conf will get priority if you see this:
LDFLAGS?=-bla -bla
There is also a third case. In this case these parameters will be 
appended to your default:
LDFLAGS+=-bla -bla
