There's rarely some difference in what stuff from pkgsrc compiles on
x86_64 vs. i386, though this is usually not because of DragonFly.  A way
to check would be looking at the reports on avalon:
http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/reports/ - look at the meta/ directory in
each report.  Postgres, apache, and ruby build fine going on a quick
browse...
