Hey all,

I have just completed the long awaited, first 64bit build of the 'Custom releases' project hosted here:

http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com

You may download the ISO file immediately using the downloads page:

http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com/downloads-page

This release is based on the latest XFCE desktop and includes a wide
variety of desktop-related packages, like OpenOffice, abiword, gnumeric,
firefox35, gimp, inkscape, evince and so on. The base system is 8.0-RELEASE-p1 which includes the latest security fixes.

Make sure to read the README file:

http://freebsd.dev-urandom.com/iso/amd64/README.TXT

as it contains important information on installation and esp. a few steps
that are required for a successful install. In particular note:

* The 'doc' set (FreeBSD documentation) is not included in this
release due to problems in the related package builds. We will include them in
next releases when the problem is resolved.

* The 'libchek-0.9.8' will have to be selected manually in the package
selection dialog. This seems to be a problem with the INDEX file.

* Installing linux related packages during initial setup needs a few more
steps. This is due to differences in sysinstall between 7.X and 8.0
releases. A detailed explanation is provided in the README file.

As always, please report any problems, success stories, comments and
criticisms to manolis@FreeBSD.org
 
Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, this is entirely possible. I suggest of course using ports to install KDE or GNOME, since the packages in the official DVD will be older than the one you already installed and may cause problems.
