In practice, I have exactly one port I need in 64-bit that is not
functional, and that is because it is a binary-only distribution of
the Adaptec command line utility. No other software I've tried has
failed to build or run on 6.2/amd64. My list of software is purely
server stuff; I don't use any FreeBSD desktops.
