I'm not sure about Ubuntu but in current stable Debian the solution is to install a chroot of 32-bit environment. That's how I got Firefox with Flash, Skype and other proprietary stuff to play nice on my amd64 Debian Etch. "schroot" makes this simpler to use. I think I heard that Debian Lenny has aligned with other distro's in this area and started providing i386 libraries in the amd64 version.
