You do not need to have anything special in make.conf, and the GENERIC
kernel for amd64 contains the necessary 'machine' and 'cpu' paramaters.

However, if you want to use the amd64 version, you should install that
from CD, not the i386 version. I'm not sure if it is even possible to
convert (recompile) an existing install from i386 to amd64. This has
been discussed on the amd64 mailinglist before. Check the archives.
