Note that Noah Yan has been working on an AMD64 port. Some stuff is 
already committed, and last time I checked, he had about 328KB of 
uncommitted patches in his git repository 
(http://repo.or.cz/w/dragonfly/port-amd64.git).

He doesn't seem to have much time at the moment but said he'll return to 
it as soon as the stuff he's occupied with has settled down a bit.
