Is there a particular application which could be a problem?  Usually 
it's a matter of wanting to run a 32 bit browser so that proprietary 
plugins will work (yes, I'm looking at you Adobe).  32 bit apps in 
general should run fine on a 64 bit kernel, provided you install the 
relevant 32 bit libs.
