The website says that

"The first 64-bit port has arrived. Tonight, FPC compiled itself for the first time on a 64-bit system. The system was of the AMD64 type."

However I can't find any more information. Do I just download and compile the source it in the normal way?

I have a dual opteron with SuSe 9.1

No, one really needs to treat it as a separate architecture.

So crosscompiling with cross-binutils.

You can bootstrap a new version. Requirements: ppc386 from 1.0.10 and cross i386-x86_64 binutils. After that you can type 'make all BINUTILSPREFIX=x86_64-linux-' and it should build it. For more info see the build faq.
