The latest build of 5.0-CURRENT packages has only produced around 3200 packages, over 2000 fewer than on i386 5.0 and less than half the number of packages buildable on i386 4.x. There are a number of "high-profile" ports that are broken, which are causing hundreds of dependant ports to not build. This is only going to get worse with time until the problems are addressed. See http://beta.freebsd.org/errorlogs/5-latest/ for the list of problems.
