I've got several machines that I want to maintain identical

What would be a good CPUTYPE setting to use in make.conf? Would an
athlon-xp run well (or at all) if I used pentium4? Would a pentium4
run well (or at all) if I used athlon-xp? Or should I use a "lowest
common denominator" (and if so, what -- something like i686 perhaps?).
I guess the other question is whether I should worry about this at all
-- I've got no CPUTYPE setting in make.conf at the moment at all --
would a more "tuned" setting actually make that much difference?

I would say if you are not fully loaded it would make no difference.
Then if you are you need to check to see if even using CPUTYPE=i686
speeds up some and slows some down. It does not really matter for the
kernel, the kernel does not use SSE or any special instructions AFAIK.
