I did this by "borrowing" a swap partition temporarily, newfs'ing it,
and using that as the amd64 boot partition, then doing another
installworld onto the real partitions.  Of course, I think cvsup was
the only port I had installed at the time...   You could just do a
portupgrade -af after booting back to the main drives to rebuild 'em
all.
