Well...if your i386 install pre-dates your amd64 install... you might have "abandoned" binaries laying around (ccdconfig, for example). And that's not counting any other non-OpenBSD-provided binaries (i.e., things not managed by the package tools) you may have installed on the system. An "upgrade" between versions is one of those things you will often get away with. There are a lot of things in life you can get away with (often) which are not recommended. This is one of them.
