I don't have any opteron systems and I don't know whether Mike has made rpms for them or not, but if you want the latest and greatest 3D for radeon /r200, I suggest you pull a copy of the DRI cvs tree and build it on your workstation. Mergedfb support is in DRI cvs so you'll get that too. I assume the drivers should work on amd64, but I've never tried them myself; perhaps someone else can comment on that.
