I recently did a yum list "*yum*" and found plenty of interesting yum
plugins (? I think that's what they are called).  One of which had a
name like yum-basearchonly (I don't remember exactly).  I would assume
its job is to only install packages for x86_64 on such a system.  You
might give it a look.
