XP x64 should be on the same life cycle as Server 2k3, so far as I know. But
that being said, the installed base and driver support for XP x64 was never
huge, and there certainly wasn't an embedded version that I'm aware of.
You'd be better served by using Vista or even Windows Server 2008 Server
Core. If you don't want a big footprint, and don't need .NET stuff, Server
Core might be a better bet.
