I've used both mpich2 and OpenMPI on i386 and amd64 systems.
In the testing I've done with my applications, OpenMPI simply
out performed mpich2.  This was a while ago, so things may have
changed.  OpenMPI just works.  The one issue I had with OpenMPI
was resolved within a day.  Note, I do not use ports/net/openmpi.
I download the latest version from the OpenMPI, unpack it, run
configure and install.
