I assume you mean for the kickstart file? Which bootloader are you using
(isolinux, syslinux, pxelinux, LILO, GRUB, other)?

I don't believe you can influence the requested URL from within
anaconda, so you might have to set it dynamically from the bootloader.
Sounds like this would be easiest with PXE, although I don't know where
you'd switch between i386/x86_64 versions...
