I don't know why the problem would be x86-64-specific, but in any case
you may need to modify the PolicyKit configuration to allow
virt-manager to connect to libvirtd as a particular non-root user.
This page should cover the essentials:

http://libvirt.org/auth.html

The default _Fedora_ policy seems to be that virt-manager running at
the console should be able to manage libvirt (but requiring the user's
password).  I don't know why this wouldn't be working.
