I've done this before. I moved from an old Intel 3.06 Ghz to a new Athlon64
4600+. I did *not* change flags before the move from system to system. After
the move, however,  I  changed my -march flag (in your case -mtune, which is
equivalent) and recompiled everything to have the change take effect.

In your case, move the system from machine to machine, then change your
-mtune to: -mtune=nocona (see
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2.2/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options)
. When you are done with that recompile everything: emerge -e world
