I seem to recall, that when I needed to upgrade an i386 machine to
amd64, did the following:

mv /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.old
tar -xJf kernel.txz -C /

rebooted on to the new kernel

tar -xJf base.txz --exclude ./etc -C /

then used mergemaster to update my /etc

I seem to recall having to manually remove some schg flags. I did a
fresh buildworld etc after I got the system running amd64, so that
restored those flags after.
