You can try finding all occurences of i386 and replacing them with amd64
in your sources.list. But I doubt you will find any. ;-) To be serious:
apt determines the architecture for which to fetch packages by itself.
AFAIK, you cannot instruct it to use a different architecture.

Unfortunately, yes. Maybe this will change when MultiArch is finally
implemented, but I am not too optimistic that this will happen in the
near future.
