For our environment we do:

# Add profiling optimization type
PROFILING_OPTIMIZATION = "${FULL_OPTIMIZATION} -fno-omit-frame-pointer 
-fvisibility=default"
SELECTED_OPTIMIZATION[vardeps] += "PROFILING_OPTIMIZATION"

# Uncomment to enable profiling
#SELECTED_OPTIMIZATION = "${PROFILING_OPTIMIZATION}"


You can certainly add -pg to the optimization arguments as well.  As others have 
said, you'll need to have the profiling libgcc/libc components if you use -pg.

But this is a simple way to make your own customized optimization.  If you want 
to only enable it for one package you can do something like:

SELECTED_OPTIMIZATION_pn-<recipe> = "${PROFILING_OPTIMIZATION}"

--Mark
