That is only partially true, but you will have to do it manually...
Before backup/upgrade/restore, convert your RRD files to XML and store
them on another machine.
Then after the new machine is running, convert/replace the XML files
to the new installation.

Somebody detailed it here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=49955.0

"rrdtool" is actually installed on pfSense itself, so you don't need
any additional machines if you don't mind ssh'ing to pfSense and doing
it there.

Actually, I guess it would be nice to have an option to make a backup
of the pfSense configurations, with RRD data stored as an XML blob.
It should probably come with a warning that the backup will be
significantly larger, but that it's useful when changing
architectures.
This might also be useful in the future if ARM/MIPS platforms become
more commonplace...
