You can setup QEMU to allow running foreign arch stuff, see [1]. I'm not sure if that will allow you to pacstrap an AArch64 root directly from the host. If it fails, you can grab the Arch Linux ARM AArch64 image and run pacstrap from within the extracted root dir, e.g. `arch-chroot </path/to/aarch64/root> pacstrap …`.
