Yes. In many cases you are given a ./debian/rules script that will build 
a debian package; invoke it like so:

fakeroot debian/rules binary

If there is no debian/rules script, consider things like 'checkinstall' 
and 'dh-make.' I've never used those successfully, but you're free to try.

Although my processor seems to have the "lm" feature, I've never needed 
nor wanted 64-bit, but to each his own.
