Clevo D900K and 64 bit FreeBSD support???

I've been looking into replacing my current
laptop/desktop with a Clevo D900K, AMD-64 machine. I'm
just curious if anyone out there has any experience
getting FreeBSD up and running on this machine and at
what capacity (card reader, 8.1 sound card,
WLAN+Bluetooth, Hardware RAID, etc.) I was going to go
with the Nvidia Quadro graphics card and am curious on
the status of 64bit native nvidia drivers. I know it
wasn't/isn't supported as of yet. Also I was hoping to
take an existing i386 system and move it to the 64bit
system. Can I by properly specifying the environment
rebuild an i386 system to 64bit? Or am I better off/
have too install a fresh 64bit system? I would imagine
this could tick off a few ports like portupgrade that
would make rebuilding tricky at best.

I've linked to and included the machine spec for those
savy enough to look at the general hardware and know
it's level of support.

thanks,
