Nope, the Yonah doesn't support EMT64, so it's 32-bit only. See

It's basically a slightly suped-up, dual-core Pentium M.

I seem to remember something in Jobs' initial "switch to Intel"
announcement about Apple using only 32-bit Intel CPUs initially. I'm
guessing this'll change when the Intel-based PowerMac is announced.
