Just to follow up on my quest here..
The upgrade went fine. Most ports were broken as expected. I gave up trying
to recompile everything

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
