On my 5 year old laptop (Intel Core2Duo) amd64 system everything works fine, including intel graphics using WITH_NEW_XORG=, everything built with clang. There is no sound issues or anything, except in libmpg123 when built with clang. The only problem is that the laptop only have 2GB ram, which is a little on the low side these days. I also have a desktop set up in a similar way, but with a ATI graphics card (HD4850) and a core2quad processor. That one works splendid, everything build with clang and linked with libc++ (as opposed to libstdc++) and using ZFS as a boot file system In summary, it is definitely possible to run a FreeBSD desktop off of current, and I've never experienced any big hiccoughs that were not very much self-inflicted.
