Doesn't strike me as a bad idea, but you should be able to manage this by
performing an install from a customised repository (minus all of the i386
arch packages), running genhdlist and installing, then ensuring any
installations are done along the lines of:

    yum install <foo>.x86_64

A 'yum update' already does The Right Thing and only updates installed
packages, so doesn't pull in any 32-bit packages that aren't already
installed.

Maybe a "64-bit pure" flag for Anaconda would help make this easier?
