In practice, I have exactly one port I need in 64-bit that is not  
functional, and that is because it is a binary-only distribution of  
the Adaptec command line utility.  No other software I've tried has  
failed to build or run on 6.2/amd64.  My list of software is purely  
server stuff; I don't use any FreeBSD desktops.
