This sounds like sort of good news. No reason for the GUI to run in 64 bit mode AFAICT. It might make the displays run a tiny bit faster, but most of any display delay is on the GRASS side rendering the PPM to display in TclTk.
One Mac issue I need to mention. In the current cvs version (on 10.4) GRASS help no longer is listed in my Help Library, although the GRASS addons help IS listed. It's not a huge issue as help comes up OK from within GRASS, but it was handy having it in the library listing too.
