I think all of those will work just fine. You can check by inspecting
the respective ports' Makefiles. If a port won't build on a particular
platform, the Makefile will have that knowledge - there will be a flag
called ONLY_FOR_ARCHS whose value will be set to a list of the platforms
the port works on. lang/ezm3 is a good illustrative example:
ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= alpha amd64 i386 sparc64
If you try to build the port on an unsupported platform, you'll get
an error message and the build will halt.
I don't use FreeBSD/AMD64, but I would think by now that most ports
will work on it, particularly the type of things you mention above.
