Not completely. The kernel supports 64-bit apps, but only libSystem
is 64-bit. "otool -L" shows that as the only library that libperl is
linked against though so a 64-bit Perl should be possible.
The high-level libraries (Cocoa, Carbon, QuickTime, etc.) are 32-bit.
So if you want your 64-bit app to have a GUI, you'll need to separate
it into two processes - a 64-bit backend and a 32-bit frontend - and
use some means of IPC to communicate between them.
For details:

We have 10 xnu-792.2.4.obj~3 CPUs.
Send me one of 'em, I'll be happy to help out. ;-)
