I found that you DO NOT want to use CPUTYPE=native in /etc/make.conf.  CPUTYPE is used to set MACHINE_CPU in share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk. 

hp010# cd /usr/src/7x
hp010# make CPUTYPE=native -V MACHINE_CPU
unknown amd64 sse2 sse mmx

hp010# make CPUTYPE= -V MACHINE_CPU
amd64 sse2 sse

hp010# make CPUTYPE=k8 -V MACHINE_CPU
k8 3dnow amd64 sse2 sse mmx

hp010# make CPUTYPE=nocona -V MACHINE_CPU
sse3 amd64 sse2 sse mmx

Instead use:

gcc -v -x c -E -mtune=native /dev/null -o /dev/null 2>&1 | grep mtune | sed -e -e 's/.*mtune=//'

to determine what to set CPUTYPE to for your system.
