Default AMD64 question

I'm writing an article for NewsForge on 64-bit operating systems. I'm
wondering if the OpenBSD AMD64 port is entirely compiled for 64-bit, or
whether there are 32-bit binaries included with it. Does the AMD64 Ports
tree only include programs that will compile for AMD64, or is it like
FreeBSD where it's a matter of trial and error? Couldn't find the answer
to these questions in any of the documentation or notes on the
openbsd.org site, and there doesn't seem to be an AMD64 list.
