It is just a matter of the XML parser doing the right thing. Since the datatype for an older gmond is int32 and the data type for a newer gmond is float, the XML parser code should convert these numbers correctly and store them in RRD as float. I don't have a large enough system to verify this so somebody else will have to do the actual testing.
