I would create a 32 bit chroot to avoid the trouble of running any 32-bit programs with 32-bit libraries on my amd64 machine as is. See this for a sample tutorial: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=18001 Of course, this would involve creating a (much smaller) duplicate installation. But then, it's easier to maintain (in my opinion) two separate chroots, rather than a single amd64 installation with the requirement of installing some 32-bit libraries as well... HTH.
