Don't know if it will have what you're after...

You do know there's a freebsd-mobile list as well?  Anything in its 
archives?

You can always run i386 BSD on an AMD64.  If your big-ass machine has a 
big-ass disk then you can put both 1386 and amd64 on it and dual boot.  
There's a big list of ports which don't run on amd64 which flew by this 
list recently.
