Quick google search showed it in the Changelog specifically for 64 bit.

http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/bleeding/NEWS

* Added native 64-bit support for x86-64, which, similarly to the 32-bit
  version, uses CPU emulation for V86 mode, and runs DPMI code natively.
  Most of the code is now 64-bit clean but a few cases may not work yet.

  Sorry, I had been using it last month, it appears it MAY only be
available in the current development version.
