Not really. How else would you propose installing common libraries?

Well, if you can't do that, you dont have a 32+64 system do you? Note 
that there plenty of i386 packages in the Fedora x86_64 directory, 
eg:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/x86_64/os/Fedora/RPMS/Canna-libs-3.7p3-13.i386.rpm

just to pick the first one.
