sharing i386 and amd64 /etc and /home



I've got my disk partitioned so that /home, /etc, /usr, /tmp, and /boot
are on separate partitions. I'd like to install the amd64 port so I can
finally make use of the full performance of my processor. But, I'd
really like to transfer over all of my system settings to make the
transition as seamless as possible. So I'd basically like to install
amd64 into a new /usr partition and reuse all the others. Is this
possible?

I'm relatively certain that no native packages would out arch-specific
binaries anywhere in /home or /etc, so it seems that it should be pretty
safe. I just want to make sure that I don't hose my i386 setup before
I'm fully switched over.
