You haven't given us specific info to diagnose this. Here are some points.

* this isn't magic. You have a bus error because of code in your kext

* ppc machines completely ignore x86_64 architecture. The presence or absence of such code in your kext is not relevant.

* you should use two machine debugging to diagnose this. You can use an intel machine to connect to your ppc panic; just specify the -arch keyword when invoking gdb

* since you claim the i386 code works, I would suspect endian issues in your code. Look at Apple'sdiscussions in the universal programming guidelines for ideas

Good luck.
