Ubuntu are shipping 64 bit images, as are other distros like Fedora.  I
don't know what level of support you get for Pi-specific features like
hardware acceleration - most of these are targeted at 'server' type
applications, although you can install a graphical desktop.

(I don't imagine NetBSD does much in the way of hardware acceleration either)
