Perhaps to put it in a different way:

I'm pretty sure that if you run the `install.packages(...,
type='source')`, as Seth suggests, from within a 64bit version of R,
it will compile he library as 64bit as well, so you shouldn't have all
that much to worry about.

(Assuming you've got 64bit R running, that is).
