Sure is. Use the "AMD64" distribution.

Intel's EXT64 is basically the same as AMD64, but just like many people call x86-32bit IA32 because Intel got there first, people are calling x86-64 AMD64 because AMD got there first.

EDIT:

Ok... just in case... Gentoo is running on EXT64 enabled 64-bit Intel CPU's (Xeons and 64-bit Pentium 4's). To my knowledge there is no Itanium or "IA64" Gentoo..
