According to the doc, there is no problem. Check out here.

But mind you, it is not a big deal running 64b or 32b in other distros
like RedHat or slackware, but in Debian it is a *big* hassle.

IIRC, amd 64 only available in unstable. But I also notice people talking
about amd64 on sarge/testing. Better confirm that first.
IMHO, the 64b Debian is not usable yet. I tried the ubuntu first, but
gave up very soon because of lack of support and user community...
