I have an old house and do not heat the upstairs. There is one heat duct to the upstairs and I simply close the register, there are no return ducts or bathrooms to worry about. I sleep upstairs and leave the stairway door closed during the day and open during the night. However, the upstairs temperature typically runs about 20 degrees below the downstairs during the day with the door closed and has never reached freezing temperature. As suggested by another poster - you may want to just monitor the temperature before putting anti-freeze in everything. One exception would be if the plumbing runs along outside walls - in which case drain it.
One caution - high efficiency furnaces are/can be subject to heat exchanger over heating damage if the air flow is restricted such that the heat is not carried away. Since I recently replaced my furnace I checked the pressure drops and temperature rise with the upstairs duct closed. The required numbers are listed in your furnace manual.
