Any way to simply not install them when doing an install?
Unfortunately, not that I'm aware of.
There is a known issue with yum. See, for example,
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2008-June/002961.html
And a newer version of yum has a fix for that:

For people who are interested, yum-3.2.17-0_beta is in the *testing* repo at this moment.
When Joseph said "when doing an install", I assumed that meant at system install time. I know of no way of doing a pure x86_64 install via anaconda (although I'd love to be told I'm wrong on that).
You are correct I believe. anaconda is another story. It might depend on the package selection but "pure" x86_64 installation is problematic. If I remember correctly, even with a minimal install, a few i386 packages were installed.
