Dear Karl,

If you take the 'less gentle' approach (and thus overwrite the base-system with 64bit binaries) you need
to rebuild your ports. As far as I am aware, there are no special things that should be considered in
doing so. I dont have any special flags on my native 64bit instance(, I did not overwrite it or anything!).

Can you please share what kind of problems you were facing? There might be ports that only work on
i386 instead of amd64, but even then there are 32bit compat libraries that should aid in running them
nevertheless (though not natively).

Thanks
Remko
