You can build a deb from the monotone source.  It is fairly simple to do 
so (dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot).  Once you build the deb and 
install it with 'dpkg -i' you may need to run 'apt-get -f install' to 
resolve dependencies.

I use monotone on AMD64 as well.  My monotone client runs on AMD64.
