I think using superglue in this manner is a bad idea. However, I have been most successful in securing heatsinks on various cpu's using superglue, and this is how I do it:
Using some artic silver (preferably, but other generic white-paste heatsink stuff is usually acceptable) apply to the centre of the chip as normal and apply the heatsink, and work the heatsink around until the paste is doing the job it's supposed to (IE, removing air gaps). Next, once the heatsink is in the right place, apply a bead or several spots of superglue around the edges of the chip where it contacts the heatsink and hold together for a few seconds. If you apply superglue around the whole chip it can be difficult to remove the heatsink again later (if you do it right, you won't want to though!).
The other thing I could mention is that if the chip doesn't get hot (and it shouldn't!) then you can use hot-glue instead of superglue. It isn't as secure as superglue, and so it's easier to remove later, but I have my 060's heatsink secured in this manner for a long time now, without any problems.
