then comes the next pain... the backup system is CA, and they have nothing out for X86-64 yet. I have no idea how SuSE and RH encapsulate 32-bit support on the new AMD64 systems, but I think I can guess a 32 bit backup agent module and the 64 bit OS and Oracle will not play nice. If anyone knows the answer to that (I lack the bandwidth to actually test it in time) I'll listen gladly, on list of off it.
According to what I read, SuSe and RH both have mixed mode for 64bits so you can run both 32 and 64 bit applications at the same time.
BUT, I'm not sure which one is the default... if it's the 32bit than you are _probably_ ok. Since the libraries in /lib and /usr/lib will be the 32 bit versions which will make CA happy. The 64bit stuff will be in /lib64 and such. It does mean that compiling some package or program on this platform will mean a bit more work, depending on the version you want.
