The kernel is amd64 just as uname -m shows x86_64. You need the amd64 module. Runing i386 with and amd64 kernel does not make sense if the only reason is to allow using a proprietary kernel module. In that case you should be runing a 32bit kernel (like i686 or k7). With the amd64-k8 kernel you have the same kernel requirements as the pure64 system would since you are running the same type of kernel.
