Running the Makefile in debug mode, shows that the following

Please see the highlighted lines (line 751 and 752) at

How do i set these variables to x86_64 in the Makefile ?
By setting environment variables with the same name, or specify them
on the command line.  Otherwise they're taken from sysctl variables
(look at InitVariables() function in make's source code).  
Yonetani Tomokazu thank you for your reply.

i wrote a small shell script that i 'source' so that the
environment variables are set.
If you're  performing the `approved method of upgrading your
system', you're still running old kernel, which should return
amd64.  
I've just upgraded my amd64 machine as described at the end of build(7)
with a little arrangement:
env - PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin __MAKE_CONF=/dev/null sh -c '
    make buildworld
    make buildkernel KERNCONF=FOO
    make installkernel KERNCONF=FOO
    make installworld
    MACHINE_ARCH=x86_64 make upgrade
'
(the first line is to get rid of extra env variables or /etc/make.conf)
then rebooted, and now make command reports these variables correctly:
    $ cd
    $ env - PATH=$PATH make -V MACHINE_ARCH -V MACHINE -V MACHINE_PLATFORM
    x86_64
    x86_64
    pc64
correct.  just reboot and then perform the make upgrade.

cheers
