As I'm now mostly through the migration, I can tell you that all the
databases break on the change from 32 to 64 bit. The Desktop Search
database (virtuoso) doesn't work anymore. The Akonadi database (MySQL
server) doesn't work anymore, but if you know your way with mysqldump
you have a chance to extract the data and insert it again in the new
database.
Amarok is a different case. It uses an embedded MySQL engine (mysqle)
and I haven't found a way to dump that. The upshot? I had to rescan my
entire music collection and lost my ratings and statistics in the
process.
