It is actually not that bad... if you are willing to wait a bit.
Just keyword all currently installed packages (w. version number)
and change ACCEPT_KEYWORD to "x86". After a few months (if you are
lucky) or a few years (if you are unlucky), x86 will catch up and pass
the package versions you have installed.
If you want it done yesterday, however, I agree that it is easier to
re-install x86.
