Without having seen the list of affected ports yet, it certainly depends.

I don't expect things like apache, gnome, kde, perl or other big mainstream 
applications to be affected (KDE for example is developed to use -O2 by 
default - it's what you get if you run just configure without C*FLAGS set), 
but there are a lot of ports in our collection which are old, x86-centric and 
never liked any of gcc's 3.x releases very much.
