For me the easiest approach is:

Have your 32 and 64 bit distros install grub in their respective
partitions, not mbr.

Have another grub in mbr with a small boot partition. Configure it to
chainload the partitions of the distros.

That is, you first boot manager let's you choose the distro, and then
that boots with it's own boot loader. Cutting down the defult boot delay
on them helps quite a bit with this approach ;)
