I'm with Frank on this one. Migrating both at the same time is an act of self-mutilation. If something breaks you will have no way of knowing which of two things is the cause.
Upgrade to 10g first ... then migrate Forms and Reports.
One thing I have to ask though ... has anyone done this on a test box? Run it against a full production dataset and load? What happened? No patches out there yet and you're jumping in with both feet? Gerard may be envious. I think you are asking to lose your evenings, weekends, and sanity.
