It would be work to move to 64 bit pointers. Not infinite
though. The reliance is more on ulong and pointer being
the same size. If they're both 64 bits, it'll be pretty
easy. The truly hard part is changing the compiler and
debugging it afterwards. If you have to simultaneously
rewrite a compiler and do a port, its much easier to have
multiple people.
