Since we're close to a new release, I'm wondering what experience people
have had recently with running in 64-bit mode. Are most of those broken
ports now fixed? Or is there some magic that allows building of just
the broken ones in 32-bit mode such that they'll run on a 64-bit box?

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.
