can I trust the bogomips value to be accurate.
Yes. In that the bogomips will be roughly the same value every time you boot or query them from the system. They are _not_ an accurate representation of a processor's capabilities though.
And another question, is there some tools out there that I can use to run on the systems to get a more accurate comparison?
The best benchmark is to run your actual application, with a real dataset that approximates actual intended usage. If you can't do that, then the next best thing would be to find an appropriate benchmark and run that on the target hardware.

If you need to run tests under windows, maybe SiSoft's Sandra? http://www.sisoftware.net/
Note that you can't simply compare 3rd party benchmarks unless they are using the exact same server make/model as you will have and will be buying. All sorts of factors such as chipset, bus configuration, etc come into play.
If at all possible, burn a cd with your app and sample data set, run it on your existing hardware, then take it to the hardware vendor and run it on their equipment. They should be happy to let you do this if it means they could make a sale on some of that pricey 64bit gear.
