Yum-2.0.5 can use both the i386 and x86_64 repositories.

I don't think so. Though I have had problems with the i386 stuff appearing 
before the x86_64 equivalents. You need to keep the i386 stuff in sync (on 
your system) with the x86_64 stuff which can be fun as the x86_64 stuff can 
be a revision or two behind at times. Often you can just download the SRPM 
and build the x86_64 version if you can't find an older version of the i386 
package.

You just download them from the i386 tree. Otherwise they need to host them 
twice.

You would be better off trying to update a FC1 installation to the development 
stuff.
