There's no point in setting both -march and -mcpu. It's effectively the same
as using plain -mcpu. If you're not planning to change the processor type, I
suggest that you use just -march=k6-2.

IIRC I've compiled libvorbis-1.0.1 on a k6-2. (I'm not abolutely sure about
the version since this was last week, and I can't check it now) My CFLAGS
were -march=k6-2 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
If it won't compile with those, you could try setting -march=i586. In my
experience assembler errors on the k6-2 can usually be fixed like this. Just
remember to only emerge libvorbis with -march=i586, otherwise you'll lose a
bit of performance.

If by portage directories you mean /usr/portage/media-libs/libvorbis, then
this is hardly surprising. Deleting directories in /usr/portage won't help in
these situations (or any others for that matter) since they only hold the
ebuilds and digests of the package. emerge sync fetches updates and deletes
all stale or modified files.
