This is very quick and dirty and probably wrong (since I don't have an
x86-64 system to test it on), but try:

$ yum list installed  | perl -e 'while (<>) { ($name,$ver,$junk) =
split /\s+/,$_,3; if ($name =~ /(.*)\.(.*)$/) {
$hash{$2}{"$1-$ver"}=1; } } foreach (keys %{$hash{x86_64}}) { if
(exists $hash{i386}{$_}) { print "$_\n"; } } '

... it should print out a list of all the packages that conflict (as
long as the version numbers are the same -- if they're not, you can
remove the "-$ver" part from the hash assignment.

That should point you in the right direction at least.
