As far as I know there is no standard method or update tool to do
this. That doesn't mean it is not possible, just that there is nothing
to hold your hand through it. If you read the list archives (it may
not have been on questions but some other list) there is a sort of
howto involving doing a temporary install on your swap partition,
booting that, and from the temporary install, installing amd64
binaries and kernel over the "real" system.
