Subject:   64-bit compiling on a 32-bit FreeBSD machine

I have a FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE box that I recently installed gcc-3.0.4. Is
there any support for compiling 64-bit source code on this 32-bit set-up?
(ie, a sort of emulation mode in that if the compiler sees a "long long
int", it creates 2 32-bit registers for it instead of a 64-bit register).
Currently gcc-3.0.4 understands "long long int", but if you try to assign
it a 64-bit value, it just gets set to the largest 32-bit value (4 billion).
If gcc cannot handle this, are there any other compilers that can made
64-bit code work on a 32-bit machine?
