In yum.conf you can try:
multilib_policy=best
With this yum priorize the packages based on your architecture, but dont exclude the all the i386 packages if you have a x64 system.

Like many, I dislike both i386 and x64 packages being installed on my x64 machines.
However, is there a potential danger than in installing only x64 packages, one of the required files might be available only in i386 format and thus detrimentally excluded ?
Some illuminating clarity is welcome.
Note that some 3rd party binaries programs may expect/require 32 bit libs to be present - vmware server, for example.
And Skype.
