Probably the biggest issue is the booting of it... you'd need to pick
the architecture at the boot stage, as you can't install x86_64 correctly
from a ia32 kernel, as all the relevant %posts will fail.
Well, Suse automatically detects the proper arch in the boot-loader for
some time now (you can override it, too, and install a i386 system on a
x86_64 machine).
