I haven't had a chance to use an Intel Xserve yet but I assume that anything you compile with MacPorts would end up 64-bit if you're on such an Xserve. If you find that's not the case and that we need to modify the portfiles in some way to make it happen, let us know.
Interesting :) Does anyone on this list have experience with this? OS X Tiger on the XServe (Quad core Xeons) supports 64-bit server processes such as MySQL 64-bit, but its not a 64-bit OS per se. I know Leopard comes with 64-bit Apache/MySQL.
Have you been able to test your mysql yet to see if it's 64-bit? I found this document describing how to get mysql to compile 64-bit (on PowerPC): http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20050705130841426 That would imply that it doesn't automatically build 64-bit.
