You could probably force the arch (not recommended)

You could install it in a 32bit chroot (works fine and lets you install
needed libraries too if any)

You might be able to use dpkg-cross to convert the package and make it
installable, although libraries would still be an issue.

You could nag skype to get with the current reality and make a 64bit
version.

Or you could choose to ignore the awfulness that is skype and use ekiga
or something else standards commpliant and open source which doesn't
use an awful secret p2p like protocol. :)
