Yes, 64-bit REQUIRES ACPI and APIC set to 1 (and PAE=1 too!!!). 
APIC is necessary as the processor running 64-bit always have an APIC,
so the software will not work correctly without APIC. 
I'm not sure ACPI is strictly necessary, but certainly it's not going to
hurt to enable it. 
PAE is necessary as it's part of the 64-bit 4-level page-table, and it's
not possible to enable 64-bit without PAE available.
