Having just gone through the migration in the opposite direction, I would ask why you want to do this? The state of the software out there is disgracefully far from being ready for 64-bit platforms -- after wasting weeks in a vain attempt to get a workable development environment on my amd64 setup, I've just completed a move to i386 (by a fresh install). I now have a machine that has almost every port I want working and that still gives me considerable performance improvements over the genuine Intel 32-bit boxes I have. I won't be trying another amd64 setup for at least a couple more years.
