Here's mine too so you can compare which flags to use or pull out. Note
that this is my everyday box too so there's a lot of other flags in here
related to other things I use. Also, my box is an AMD Athlon so you
might want to change the 3dnow and 3dnonoex flags if your's is an Intel.

USE="nuvexport ffmpeg lirc dvb divx4linux matroska dvdread theora
truetype encode svga xvid divx gnome gtk kde qt mysql dvd cdr dvdr alsa
acpi cups dga encode gphoto2 mpeg oggvorbis samba x86 -nls mmx sse 3dnow
3dnowex mmxext v4l v4l2 network"

Also, here's my package.keywords file:
dave at office Python-CSV $ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
media-tv/mythtv ~x86
media-tv/linuxtv-dvb ~x86
media-plugins/mythweather ~x86
media-plugins/mythvideo ~x86
media-plugins/mythgallery ~x86
media-plugins/mythmusic ~x86
www-apps/mythweb ~x86
media-libs/a52dec ~x86
media-video/ffmpeg ~x86

And my package.unmask

dave at office Python-CSV $ cat /etc/portage/package.unmask
>=media-libs/a52dec-0.7.4-r4

I needed the ~x86 versions of a52dec and ffmpeg in order to make
nuvexport work, so if you won't be using those you can remove them.
