How do you best mount a cabinet face frame?

in line with the bisquits, it doesnt seem like the bisquits provide
much strength in that orientation and its all glue for strength with no
mechanical attachment.

The "strength" provided by the proper glue without mechanical fastening will
be the least of your worries.

Since you are doing it as an afterthought, you will very much appreciate the
"alignment" that carefully placed biscuits will provide when mounting a FF
on a carcase.

Besides biscuits, there are as many ways to attach a FF as there are to make
one ... among them splines, pocket hole screws, dadoes/grooves, dowels, and
the time honored, but much maligned these days, finish nail.

And, as Leon says, glued wood to wood should provide sufficient strength,
combined with any of these methods, or in many cases, by itself.
