If you are an Archlinux user or if you just do not want to go through the whole Gnuffy installation, you can use Arch2Gnuffy. This is the recommended installation method for Gnuffy64. Arch2Gnuffy is a small bash script which you can find here: http://gaenseblum.org/~leo/executable/arch2gnuffy-ng

This script is meant to be run on a running Arch Linux system by the root user.

Firstly, it will port Pacman's package list to Spaceman and secondly, it will create Spaceman's config files and install Spaceman. At your choice, it will remove Pacman and/or edit some files in /etc/ that used to print out 'Arch Linux' to print out 'Gnuffy Linux' instead (if you are using GRUB, you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst yourself).

It should also be possible to have a combination of Arch and Gnuffy by running the script every time you switch from Pacman to Spaceman, but nobody has tried it out yet, so be careful with that.

Please read the little text Arch2Gnuffy prints out at the beginning.
