Thank you.
I have 8 gigs of memory in this system, and I decided go to the ZFS
route, and am now getting kernel panics about kmem exhaustion. I know
there are some tweaks I can do to help alleviate these, but I want to
address all my memory before I increase the kernel memory.
I don't need the ports to be 64-bit, but they SHOULD run just fine
without recompiling, yes?

First of all, your Core2 Duo should work just fine with i386. The
amd64
architecture is an extension of the x86 arch. Unless you regularly run
out of address space on i386, there is no _need_ to install amd64. Be
aware that some ports (especially binary drivers and ditto plugins)
only
run on i386.
Is there a good path to do this? Will I have to reinstall,
Reinstalling is probably the wisest course. Also be aware that you
need
to remove and rebuild all your ports if you want them to be 64-bit.
or can I do a buildworld/installworld over the i386?
You can cross-build, but you'll need to install the new kernel and
world
to a separate partition and boot from that partition.
