I am running a Fedora linux x86_64 linux distribution (currently, FC8 CCRMA x86_64, with plans to go to FC11 later). I don't mind compiling from sources, but I seem vaguely aware that PD is primarily for 32 bit architectures. The 64 bit version is not easily downloadable in an RPM package, which tells me something.
Is PD 64 bit compatible without having to jump thru too many hoops? I haven't been following the thread closely enough to know the current answer. I don't think it has been explicitly stated whether it is "64 bit friendly" since the upgrade in the code a few weeks/months ago.
If I have to run some type of chroot 'jail' to run it, it would be nice to know (however, it will be a while before I am motivated enough to set it all up).

If you build it from source, it should be ready to go, especially if
you build it from trunk. There isn't a 64-bit build machine, so
that's why there aren't Pd-extended 64-bit releases.
