Crap, I can't find the article where Intel was comparing the Opterons to
the Xeons that I was reading last night. It mentioned what the Intel
guys used for GCC with -march on a Core 2 Duo system.
However, I did find a Gentoo Wiki page where it says that safe CFLAGS /
CPUTYPE values for EM64T CPUs is nocona:
<http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Xeon_w.2FEM64T_.28Intel.29_.28also_Pentium_4_P6xx.29>.
The only thing is that they use gcc-3.4 by default as well as gcc-4.1 /
gcc-4.2, so processor support may be better with the later versions
of gcc.

So for i386 I should use prescott, right?
prescott should be a safe bet, yes. However, I don't see why nocona
support couldn't be used. CPUTYPE in freebsd's make.conf is a "soft
alias" to -march, which adds CPU support for the target architecture,
but doesn't force the binary to only work in the target architecture IIRC.
