Are there any plans for a 64 bit boinc for XP?

There is no need. There is no performance advantage to be gained by a 64-bit version. You can, if you wish, compile it yourself if you want to prove me wrong ... :)

I am running the 32-bit version fine on my Xeon-64 with WIndows-64.

Oh, and on my AMD Athlon-64 though that machine is running Win-32 (as far as I can tell).

Remember that BOINC is not the part that does the work. There is interest in a 64-bit application for climateprediction, which is a very intensive computing task, but the devs ran into problems. Look over on those boards to learn more.
