I've got an Athlon 64bits 3000+ processor and Ubuntu LTS (dapper) installed (64 bits version) on my laptop. I do not have any problem to install R from the sources, as long as the correct libraries/compilers/etc. are installed. But it is no pain if you just follow what the configure script tells you (and use apt-get to install missing packages). I guess a common mistake is to forget to install "-dev" versions of packages, which sometimes contain required headers. However, you should not have troubles installing R on different R distributions, 64bits or not. Hope this help.
