Sorry for asking probably trivial question, but if I have in /etc/make.conf:
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2" ,

does it still make sense to include use-options:
USE="3dnow mmx sse" ???

Or is it selected automaticly by that -march=athlon-xp ?

yes, because the USE flag is something completly different from the CFLAG

it is selected by march for the CFLAGS, but some apps have additional 
optimiziations built in, that have to be activated with configure options. 
That is where the USE flags come to action.

So, set them in  the useflags too, there are some apps that use them for 
better performance.
