Definitely.

1) Backup system.
2) Download amd64 install ISO and burn to CD
3) Boot from CD
4) Follow instructions for fresh install
5) Restore/merge configuration from backups.

If you have a spare amd64 system and most of the content is static,
you could reduce downtime by doing steps 4 thru 5 on the second system
and either swapping the disk(s) or the entire system.
