There's rarely some difference in what stuff from pkgsrc compiles on x86_64 vs. i386, though this is usually not because of DragonFly. A way to check would be looking at the reports on avalon: http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/reports/ - look at the meta/ directory in each report. Postgres, apache, and ruby build fine going on a quick browse...
