It does not compile on a native x86_64 compiler.

Re: why is virtualbox not in 64?
I'm using Virtualbox right now. I think I was using VMWare Server when I was running arch64. I'd love to see some GUI tools for kvm that are as nice as the ones for VMWare or Virtualbox. It seems like things have been improving quickly with kvm though.
virt-manager from Fedora is supposed to be able to act as a frontend to kvm... you could give it a try. I think the last time I looked at in in AUR it required xen though.
