There is an LFS 64bit boot CD thats very basic. I've used it to build a pure64 system which was "ok" but it was a bit of a struggle.

You'd be better off using an AMD64 live CD from say gentoo to build a 64bit compatible system, or cross compile which is becoming easier with the release of patches as more people understand the process
