Some poorly written software fails to run properly in 64-bit environment. I have one such package, and my solution was to compile it on a 32-bit box, and copy the binaries over. Works just fine with 32-bit compat enabled on the amd64 kernel. Other than that, the FreeBSD/amd64 has been 100% rock solid for me since 6.0 when I started getting 64-bit boxes.
