The 64 bit beta plugin works fine:

You'll need Linus's patch to workaround the memcpy bug in the plugin. Search  
the list archives/bugzilla.

The beta plugin most likely has unpatched holes, so it's a bit risky, but as  
long as all you need Flash for is youboob, and other major sites, it should  
be fine.
