Presumably if this happens the way they are talking about it on the newsgroups :

This could bode well for PC-BSD and FreeBSD should someone step up to
do this work.
Then who ever did the port should be able to look at 64-bit versions too? And really until Nvidia or AMD/ATI release some solid 64-bit drivers I doubt many will leave i386/32-bit for desktop/workstations.

Honestly as much as I dislike Flash, it does have its uses, it would be nice to be able to jump on youtube occasionally or listen to a bands streaming songs on myspace without having to fire up wine and hoping that it won't crash.
