Upgrade server from i386 -> amd64 kernel ...

[Leo Mrafko]

Yes, in fact it's pretty simple, quoting /usr/src/Makefile:

# If TARGET_ARCH=arch (e.g. ia64, sparc64, ...) is specified you can
# cross build world for other architectures using the buildworld target,
# and once the world is built you can cross build a kernel using the
# buildkernel target.

Just read through /usr/src/Makefile and /usr/src/UPDATING.

Leo.
