If you are using current, then you should already have ffmpeg installed. I would remove any ffmpeg packages you have installed and then reinstall it with slackpkg. You can also update current using slackpkg to ensure you aren't using an old current?
I doubt there's an ffmpeg build flag for disabling sse2 support. You'll get the same problem with lots of other audio, multimedia and graphics software. The world moved on and left your cpu behind. Sorry.
Update!! A very helpful friend (ponce ) tells me that there are flags '--disable-sse2' and '--disable-sse3' that you can add to the ffmpeg SlackBuild so that it should work!!
