How about:

#ifdef INT64_IS_BUSTED
#define int64aligned(name) int32 name##_; int64 name
#else
#define int64aligned(name) int64 name
#endif

typedef struct FormData_pg_sequence
{       NameData        sequence_name;       int64aligned(last_value);       int64aligned(increment_by);
int64aligned(max_value);      int64aligned(min_value);       int64aligned(cache_value);       int64aligned(log_cnt);
  char            is_cycled;       char            is_called;
 
} FormData_pg_sequence;
