Is there no benefit performance-wise for a native 64bit port?
Naive question, I don't know.

I know I can see differences in 32bit v. 64bit apps when I run my dual 
Opteron server either in 32bit AthlonXP Gentoo Linux or in AMD64 Gentoo 
Linux.

I know Apache serves ~50%+ better on 64bit on my machine.

What is the timing? I would love a minimal snapshot for a webserver setup.

In general I like the minimal and build up philosophy. I don't necessary 
want _everything_ in my squeak any more than I install everything 
in/with my OS.
