The regular i686 RPMS work just fine for me on x86_64 FC4.

Assuming 64bit processors from Intel and AMD become the norm years from 
now, I wonder if someone will find a solution that would allow wine(and 
mplayer) compiled for x86_64 to load native 32bit dlls.  It would be a 
shame 5 years from now to need to keep around 32bit libraries just for 
running wine :).
