Do most of the ports work on amd64?
Are there any other caveats?


There are a handful of ports that have 64-bit issues, but they are getting cleaned up gradually.


The only major bottleneck I have as of today is one perl module, IO::Interface, which will compile, but when run return empty data rather than proper lists. I'm sure it has to do with 64-bittedness, since it works on i386 FreeBSD 5.3. I'll track that down and fix it sooner or later...
