You will have to recompile all ports (/usr/local ) and any manually installed apps due to the changes in the system libs. Personally, it's not worth the headache of trying to do a "upgrade" across architectures like this. Most of the items in /usr (outside of /usr/local) are part of the base system and should update "okay", but I don't know if you will be able to boot a x64 kernel into a x86 system, assuming you try a reboot between make installkernel and make installworld . I don't think a binary upgrade would work at all, but I've never actually done a binary upgrade. I always csup. On that note, I've never tried this, but I would recommend against it.
