Btw, yes I know that it might (or will) brake currently existing apps, I have to save the /etc/fstab /etc/master.passwd files etc. I'm just wondering if I end up with a system that can boot the old filesystem and sshd will run so I can recompile all the ports on the machine in the new architecture

I'm planning to binary upgrade a machine that's now running i386 7.1-RELEASE-p3 to AMD64. Mainly because the machine has 8GB of memory and I don't like the PAE limitations. I've done this a couple of times before with 4.x -> 6.x but all remained i386. Are there any pitfalls when doing an upgrade
