At the end of November, Adobe released a 64-bit Flash plugin:

And, shocker of shockers, it actually works!
To Install Flash Plugin on x86-64
You'll download the tarball from here:

The only thing in the tarball is libflashplayer.so. To install the 64-bit Flash plugin, simply move libflashplayer.so into your user's .mozilla/plugins directory and restart Firefox.
Here's a more full set of instructions:

Even more amazing, the bloody thing works on my Fedora 10, x86-64 virtual machine running in VMware Fusion on my MacBook Pro! Yee haw! This will definetly help me as I'm preparing a presentation on Cinelerra for the Trenton Computer Festival in April.
Much thanks to the Adobe Linux team!
