Not currently. Multi platforms (especially i386 and x86_64) will be supported
by the Fedora Extras infrastructure when it exists/is made available but,
right now, fedora.us is i386 only.
Having been playing with this since Justin made the first x86_64 stuff
available for FC1 has proven interesting. Except for the most simple
packages, trying to install 32 bit version is a real trial because of
dependencies. And then there are 64 bit packages ... which you need to roll
yourself ... which sometimes work and sometimes do not.
I suggest you check the archived of this mailing list, the
fedora-devel-list at redhat.com and amd64-list at redhat.com. I have put some
interesting messages out about getting stuff working on FCn x86_64 that might
prove helpful to you.
