Lemme ask the "big" question...

What exactly is involved in making a 64 bit port? Would it be
sufficient to run builder on a 64-bit Hardy machine?

If you only wanted 64bit, pretty much. However, for it to be in the same
repository as i386 and work seamlessly you'd need to change Builder.
You'd have to update the src package (and then build i386) and then build
amd64.
