Thanks everyone, based on the info I am returning the nvidia card and
getting an R4xx instead (found an X850 for under $80 still sold; seems to be
well enough supported). I still want to try amd64; other limitations do not
bother me that much (I do not care for wine or win32 codecs).

Support for r300 based cards is coming as well.

Thanks.
Do you by any chance have a link to supported cards?
Do you know if this driver supports Composite? OpenGL?

I suspect binaries on i386 will be somewhat smaller. But amd64 has more
registers which might give some speed advantages. I haven't tested it, but

I have new hardware (Abit ip35-pro, Intel Q6600), and was contemplating
installing FreeBSD/arch, but now realise that I am going to have some
problems.
My nvidia card will not be of much use (GeForce 8500GT), since nvidia-drivers
are not there for amd64, and the open source nv driver does not e
