5.x on the AMD64, yes. It is listed as a Tier-1 platform main page. Actually, 
4.x will run on it too as if it was a very fast i386 machine. There are 
bootable snapshots available, I think - see the archives of this list. Do 
note that not everything works perfectly - there is no i386 FBSD executable 
support, so you will need to recompile everything. There is no Linux 
executable support. xpdf doesn't work. gcl and cmucl don't work. Lots of 
other ports have secret i386 or other nonportable assumptions, and may not 
compile.

            If the door is ajar, can we fill it with door-jamb?
