Then all you really need is:
* the 32-bit repository enabled,
* yum.conf set up not to install matching i686 packages for all x86_64 
packages (which would cause file conflicts when using the full 32-bit 
repository), but only those explicitly requested or required by dependencies 
(This has now been the default for several Fedora releases anyway.),
* "yum install glibc.i686".

You don't actually need multilibbed x86_64 repositories.
