However, without knowing what the other i386 packages are, it's difficult to say. Of course, if you remove something you need, you can always restore it again. yum keeps a log of all packages it adds and removes (/var/log/yum.log and friends), so putting things back isn't too difficult. [The large number of i386 packages installed on x86_64 machines is a bit of a complicated bug, but it is being worked on.]
