I'm sort of confused about this as it is basically an OS of its own and don't know if the traditional service packs would apply here. Clarifications appreciated :)
 
All of the features of SP2 are built into XP x64. Same with XP MCE. They came out after SP2 (or during) so MS just built it in automatically. XP x64's next service pack will be its first and most likely called XP x64 Service Pack 1, etc.

Another way to think of is according to the following table:

Up till now, versions of Windows within a given code base are typically serviced via the same service pack, or one per architecture. So, for example, there an Win2k3-SP1-x86 service pack, and a Win2k3-SP1-IA64 service pack, and there would have been a Win2k3-SP1-x64 if there was an "rtm" version needing upgrading.
