And the mozilla plugin will be 32bit, but will be put among 64bit-stuff, so that won't work, but you should be able to get the rest working. Forget it ever entering ~amd64 in portage though... However, for everyday issues I'd recommend blackdown-jdk instead, which shares ~90% sources with sun-jdk, but is available as a real amd64 package.
