Okay, this was wrong, there are experimental buildds for amd64, and they are already used on backports.org. Looks like the webinterface I mentioned above is just outdated, so I can't see what's the problem when building grub on amd64.
Grub won't build with gcc-3.3 on amd64 because it's essentially a cross-compile. So you have to tweak the Build-Depends to require gcc-3.4 and tweak rules to use gcc-3.4 instead of the default gcc-3.3. You also have to change the name of the ia32 compat libraries in Build-Depends. -- Huaqing Zheng Beer and Code Wrangler at Large
