CPUTYPE=i686
-O2 -mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -mtune=i686

I had the kernel compiled with those flags and used it for a while with no 
problem. Actually, I am not sure: maybe, I could leave the kernel compiled 
with the flags and just re-compile firefox2 without them, or vice versa. I 
got tired of re-building the port, so I just disabled the flags everywhere, 
and it resulted in firefox2 running properly.
When the flags were enabled, I got an error while portupgrading firefox, but 
the build didn't fail because if this error. I can't remember exactly; it was 
something like "Chrome build failed, core dumped..."; firefox was built 
though, but didn't work.
