I think I am doing similar things on FC4 (32bit) and I will post
my build experience under FC4 when I am back home with my Linux
computer. My main test platform is Ubuntu 5.10 (based
on Debian). Last time I tested piklab 0.2 and I have some
problems with FC4 when connecting to ICD2 with USB. Serial
connection was better in FC4.

Nicolas has posted the simple hotplug scripts for ICD2
(based on Mark Rage's PICkit 1/2 hotplug scripts) in his website.
With that hotplug script, you should be able to run piklab
as normal user. Hopefully your 64-bit FC4 also support
usb hotplug.
As for the firmware, I copy the ICD2 firmware from
MPLAB installation (C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ICD2
with MPLAB 7.x) and point piklab to that location.
I've tested piklab-0.4 and 0.4.1 with PICkit 2 and ICD2
(USB connection) using quite some PICs and piklab works quite
well under Ubuntu 5.10.
