Is there any possibility that FreeBSD/arm can be fixed to have 64-bit

This is unrealistic. On all modern platforms, 'long int' has the size
of a machine word, i.e. of a integer register in the CPU. [*1]

Um... apparently you haven't been exposed to the idiocy that is Windows x64 edition? On Windows, sizeof(long int) == 4, regardless of whether sizeof(void*) == 4 or sizeof(void*) == 8.
