The base package can't be multilib, as the paths aren't unique.  You can
only have one /usr/sbin/httpd and which arch wins if you try to install
both?  You won't be able to run both a 64bit httpd instance and a 32bit
httpd instance.

You can do chroots or virt images in order to serve up your 32bit needs
though.
