Like what? You make it sound as if there were a lot of software that you
can't use in 64bit, I just know of the java plugin, the rest I'm using
it right now.

Well you're using a 64bit kernel with a 32bit userland, obviously in
some moment is gonna give you problems specially when installing kernel
modules compiled in a 686 and you're using a 64bit, so if you want to
use adm64 I suggest to install all the port amd64, not only the kernel.
