Don't worry about recompiling everything right away.  Gnome takes a long
time to compile!  The cpu type does seem to help multimedia apps and WMs if
they were designed to take advantage of the extra instructions.  

I usually get a machine up and then change the cpu type after I have the
basics worked out.  Eventually after buildworlds and portupgrade I get
everything built with the new settings.  It works out fine.
