It says: "... _parts_ of the vtk codebase are not 64 bit clean...".

The statement is still true.  You can prove it to yourself by turning on
a compiler warning that warns about size truncation, like converting
size_t to int.

I'm using VTK on 64 bit Mac OS X.  It mostly works well.

Are you having problems?
