Use yum to install it, do not just install an RPM.  It will not put
the entire xorg i386 on your computer.  It will resolve the
dependencies and get the 32-bit libs you need out of the x86_64
repositories.
32-bit libraries can be installed along side the 64-bit libraries. 
There is an option when installing to install 32-bit libraries as
well.  I have always used that, so I do not know the exact way to do
it post install (ie, which packages you need).  Try this and see if it
works:

yum install xorg-x11-libs.i386
