I did that some years ago and for me it was seamless. While I'm using 
Kubuntu, I don't think there should be a difference for other Ubuntu 
flavours. Your config files are usually text files which don't depend on 
the the system architecture. If you have compiled some applications, you 
could recompile them with 64 bit.
