I pioneered this on gentoo and added the amd64 instructions to the wiki.
I was having some problems on xorg 6.8. If I left a connection open for a 
whole day, or overnight, the nxclient would eventually freeze. I don't know 
if it was hapenning to all nx32-on-amd64 users, but now I am using xorg 7.0 
on the nxclient side and this problem disappeared. I have a nxclient session 
running for over a week and it is like I have just opened it, with no signs 
of degradation on responsiveness.  
BUT running xorg 7.0 on gentoo will require a little bit of patience and 
portage knowledge, as it is masked and has *lots* of packages. I think 
someone made a script to automatically unmask the packages...
Just for the record, xorg 7.0 itself is very stable too, and I am using the 
open source radeon driver with dri, and it is working like a charm. As much 
as it can on a dinky Radeon 9200 SE...
