http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EM64T

"Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) is Intel's
implementation of AMD64, a 64-bit extension to the
IA-32 architecture."

The latest Xeons use AMD extensions to get 64 bits. 
So you tell FreeBSD you have an AMD chip.  Check
/var/run/dmesg.boot to see what it thinks it is.  For
example, my desktop Intel dual core 64 bit Pentium
says it's a K8 class CPU, K8 being the AMD name for
the Opteron architecture.
