I'm in the same boat.  I built a silent home server based on an Intel Atom D510 
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121399) and it runs 
fine using amd64 (5.1_RC4).  The only way to get X up and running, though, was 
to use the vesa driver.  Doesn't look like X is functioning in FreebSD yet 
either (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10668).

Good luck...
