Hey Michael: I was able to get OSCAR 4.0 working with FC3 with a few tweaks. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you the patches.
Concerning x86_64... I just noticed that SystemImager 3.5.1 (unstable) has been posted. I believe this should have support for x86_64 + 2.6 kernel, so I will try integrating it with OSCAR 4.0 and see how it works.
