If there are the people in nvidia forum have 'enough insterest' to write then it would have been already done by now. :-) It is what others in here are trying to tell you about that we don't have anybody (even include nvidia forum) that who have 'enough insterest' to write it for nvidia driver's need. As for me, I am a nvidia driver user and I do want it works with amd64, but I do not have 'enough insterest' to learn and write it. It looks like it is included you too.
