With the current version of yum (3.2.8), the easiest way is to add an exclude line in yum.conf like:
exclude=*.i386 *.i686
Note that you might want to remove all i386/i585 packages that are already on the system to make it a pure x86_64 system. A newer version of yum has rectified the issue. Some details can be found in this mailing list thread:

Just thought I throw in that an "official" Sun Java 64bit browser plugin is now available.
Thanks for all answers

last I looked, with Sun Java you had to install both the 32bit core JVM *and* the 64 bit extensions to get 64bit java.
this in turn probably has some basic 32bit library dependencies.
