If you are still interested, please try:

http://morfic.homelinux.org:8080/smgl-x86_64-silver-thistel.iso

It sports an amd64 livecd, has the required tarball and tools included
 to install said tarball.
after partitioning and formatting the created partitions a script
('enter_camelot') if used should ease installation on the disk.
bootloader, /etc/fstab and passwd have to be manually installed/updated.
the CD is meant to aid in installation until the final product of an
amd64/x86_64 installer CD is finalized.

your goal was to convert the system, which *SHOULD* be possible too,
but is not for the faint of heart. It would save you more time to
actually reinstall, just saving all config dirs (/etc/ and /home/.*) and
data (/home)

If you can not install smgl64 at this
time, download it anyway, it makes a fine rescue CD ;)

hope this helps

Daniel
