Umm, what do you mean?

You can cross-build world and kernel with TARGET=3Damd64 (this is what the
tinderbox and 'make universe' do), then install the kernel, reboot into
single-user mode, and install world.  Some things won't work properly
until you've built and installed world a second time, but nothing
important AFAIK.

You may have to copy /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 to /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1
before you reboot - it used to be necessary, but ISTR someone hacked
around it to make it easier to run 32-bit chroots on amd64.
