I wouldn't say "impossible."
Apple made X11 64 bit capable?  And some people have made an X11 based build 
of ParaView 3 for Mac.  So a 64 bit ParaView GUI should be possible.
Also, a 64 bit paraview server based on Cocoa should work (a 32 bit one does).

Thanks for warning me about Qt's transition to Cocoa.
