Pkg can only install bits that are actually available, so if a package
doesn't contain 64-bit binaries, then pkg can't create them. However, it's
standard practice (though not always strictly followed) that libraries are
delivered both 32 and 64-bit, and libgd follows that:
$ pkg contents -Ha path="usr/lib/*libgd*" gd
usr/lib/amd64/libgd.so
usr/lib/amd64/libgd.so.2
usr/lib/amd64/libgd.so.2.0.0
usr/lib/libgd.so
usr/lib/libgd.so.2
usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0
(and in usr/lib/sparcv9 on sparc, obviously).
