Actually there is an easier way that I stumbled across.
It turns out that the 32-bit Flash Player and Adobe Reader have pretty
much the same 32-bit dependencies. If you follow the instructions on the
Fedora Project Wiki to prepare F14 x86_64 to install the 32-bit Flash
player, but then install Adobe Reader instead, it works perfectly -
including the Firefox plugin.
That specific prep command is:
su -c 'yum install nspluginwrapper.{x86_64,i686}
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 --disablerepo=adobe-linux-i386'
After that, I used:
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck <path to Adrobe Reader RPM file>
...to install Adobe Reader. Worked like a champ.

Perhaps we should update the Wiki accordingly...?
