Assuming you don't want to just reinstall... That would involve doing a "cross-grade" from 32- to 64-bit userspace using multiarch. I've seen people doing this in various blog posts and things but AIUI is not for the faint of heart and I expect it isn't strictly speaking "Supported". Oh, it's even on the wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading and there are some links to blog posts at the bottom, maybe it's not as scary as I imagined. If your real aim is just to install the amd64 Xen tools bits and not to replace your entire userspace then I think (but I've never tried it) you could enable amd64 as a foreign arch (as that wiki page describes) and then just apt-get install the Xen related packages with the :amd64 suffix to force it to reinstall those as amd64.
