So I've heard. I haven't tried it out yet.

LOL. There isn't any DFly support currently. Starting from the FreeBSD port, it 
wouldn't be hard to add.

There currently is only compatibility-mode support for applications not guests.  
I'm not under the impression that x86_64 support is that stable yet. Otherwise I
would've started on x86_64 FreeBSD support. Please try it out and let me know 
off-list how well it works.
