I guess best approach would be manual installation from LiveCD. 
http://docs.pld-linux.org/instalacjarc_intro.html has some instructions
on that topic.

Basically:
- boot LiveCD
- create partitions, set up filesystems and mount them somewhere (say,
  under /chroot)
- substitute i586 in /etc/poldek.conf with amd64
- poldek --upa
- poldek --root /chroot --mkdir 

And install packages you want. A good start is to install something
nontrivial, say mc or elinks - it will pull all base requirements. 

After that, chroot into newly created system, set up root password and
boot manager.
