That's what I thought too, but in that case, why are they different 
optimisations available?
In /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf:

    # Currently the following CPU types are recognized:
    #   Intel x86 architecture:
    #       (AMD CPUs)      opteron athlon64 athlon-mp athlon-xp athlon-4
    #                       athlon-tbird athlon k8 k6-3 k6-2 k6 k5

Or maybe some of them are in fact bywords to compiler?

Still, my CURRENT box is at idle mostly, so I will experiment a little 
and see what I get.
