I'm going do exactly that within our Zenoss production server in the next 
couple of days.

After upgrading my test environment I came to the following conclusions:
- Migrating Zenoss & MySql from 32 to 64bit using the same Zenoss version is 
pretty painless
- Migrating from 32 to 64bit and updating Zenoss at the same time should be 
possible, but I would advice against it.
- Migrating RRD files  from 32 to 64bit is a real pain in the ass.

So my current migration strategy looks like this:
- Configuring a new 64bit server with Zenoss 2.2.3. (the version we use on our 
production server).
- Restore MySql Event  & Zope Database via ZenRestore
- Write a script that dumps & restores the RRD files  between the old and new 
server
- Upgrading the new server to Zenoss 2.3.2

One of the things I'm toying with is the idea to add an --rrd-dump option to 
zenbackup that backups RRD files in XML format instead of native integer 
format. But I don't know if its really worth the effort.
