Yes
$ file sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so
sun4-solaris-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so: ELF 64-bit MSB
dynamic lib SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

First of all you have to compile perl itself as 64bit program, then for
me it was enough to build DBI and DBD without any parameters and it
seems to work fine. ( Well DBD 1.13-1.14 leaks for me when compiled with
oracle 9, could you test that, please ? And I had to tweak DBD 1.12 to
compile fine, there were some libraries missing ). If you are
intereseted I can dig some history and recall what exactly I did.
