Sorry, i missed the part about you not wanting a chroot. As far as I 
know, portage currently does not support installing 32-bit and 64-bit 
versions of the same package, i.e. it does not know anything about the 
bitness a package was compiled for and therefore doesn't use this 
information for dependency resolution. In other words, it will not know 
that the X11 libs it installed are 64-bit and that the firefox you want 
to compile for 32-bits needs the 32-bit X11 libs.
