This page seems to have all the details about the x86_64 port:

https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/64-bit_port/  

I wouldn't try debootstrap.  I think it's not working as well as it ought to...  Just use the 64 bit installer image.  It works on qemu.  And if you are going to use the Hurd virtually...use qemu or xen.  They work the best.

Also, join us on #hurd and ask questions in real time.  I almost have to ask 5+ questions about the Hurd before I get something working.  Samuel and others go out of their way to be answer lots of random questions.  Thanks Samuel!
