yum install yum-basearchonly.x86_64

Future updates will only install x86_64, unless you say
"package.i386", or what you install has a dependency on an .i386
package.

This type of behavior may become the default in Fedora 9.  It's under
discussion. There's a new yum in rawhide that provides this feature.

Matt
