A couple of people (Perry springs to mind) run Gentoo on an AMD64, but have had problems running the ~amd64 branch due to things not being entirely 64-bit ready or clean. Your mileage may vary as to what does and doesn't work, but come this time next year, the answer should be an emphatic 'everything'.
In fairness, the reason I'm running gentoo with ~amd64 is that I tend to run a huge range of software. I get annoyed at FC3 for barely being able to provide a base OS in comparison to the amount of programming libraries and tools I use on a day to day basis. So I got an amd64 knowing full well that I was going to hit issues (and actually, more to the point, I got an amd64 so I'd have some fun issues to play with....)
