It's possible, but I'm not sure if it's supported yet. If you do a forum search, I remember their being a thread about that topic.

There is no 64 bit build at this point, there is some 64 bit stuff in x64.nsh but not for the regsitry, but it is possible to do with the system plugin, you have to pass a special flag (KEY_WOW64_64KEY) to RegCreateKeyEx
