Nah, I've done it several times.

Yes, you will want to recompile all ports.  While they may mostly
work, some things (e.g. threaded applications) will currently fail,
and if you ever want to build any new ports on that systemthey'll be
very unhappy trying to link together 32-bit and 64-bit objects.
