You do not need to perform any emulation to get flash to work natively in an x64 environment any longer. Adobe offers a alpha/beta version which you can download here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html I'm guessing you are using Firefox so just extract the tar.gz archive into ~/.mozilla/plugins/. Once that has been done you should have flash without any frills.
