Upgrade or not ?

stability is good enough for most people to run production services. since you're looking at migrating from i386, I'd suggest locating the makefiles (or pre-compiled package files) for your installed ports and making sure there isn't an "ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386" line (unless "amd64" is also on the line, of course). svgalib and linux_dri are a couple that spring to mind, and there are a few others. nvidia video support in X.org can also be lacking, as nvidia only releases binary drivers for 2D/3D acceleration and doesn't have a 64-bit driver for FreeBSD yet. you'll get a display, but it won't be accelerated and, depending on chipset and monitor, might not support widescreen modes.
