dunno where your information comes from, but the FX has SSSE3 support:

Where there's a will there's a way.
But that way will be a rocky road & I currenlty see noone to walk it.

To speak for myself I don't have any skills to write some simd emulation.

And even if there would be some other workaround for this - I don't have a platform to do testing on this.
I was playing with the thought of getting some Sempron 14* to try some stuff, but I don't want to waste 30 bucks on something with a bare possibility to work in the end...

64-Bit only Kernel Extensions require the X86_64 Kernel.
Having i386 Kernel with 64-Bit support enabled, won't work for this.

Currently I don't even have this working on the FX - all patched Kernel builds are i386 only.

Seriously?
If you could / would effort this, I'd do.

My main Workstation is equipt with an Intel Xeon E-1220 - so I can compare directly & the OS X work expierence is much better.

Altough the AMD-OSx86 thing is still fun to me.^^
