Michele, It is possible to compile mapserver with many of the dependencies (but not all) for x64 and I have a couple of code could run on WS2003 x64 in ASP.NETenvironment. But using this option might be surprising definitely, since only a few feedback we got about the possible issues in a real production environment. The multithreaded environment provided by ASP.NET may also be challenging for the various libraries that mapserver is using. But if you would like to follow this way I could probably provide the required binary package to make a test with. To insert/update pgsql you could utilize the ogr C# interface contained by the gdal package.
Apache/PHP would also be a wise choice if an inhomogeneous architecture is acceptable or you could create one or more single threaded C# application so as to serve the required images for the client application to achieve the same result. By using the /platform:x86 compile option you could ensure your appserver would be able to run either on Win32 or x64 environments equally well.
