That really depends on the package in particular. If the package
rebuilds cleanly when you do: 

sparc64 rpmbuild --rebuild nameof.src.rpm

You should be able to make the necessary changes to the spec file to
rename it to nameof64 and rebuild.

(Note: In future releases, this shouldn't be necessary, with multilib,
it will be as easy as installing nameof.sparc.rpm and/or nameof.sparc64.
rpm)
