Why not just using a Fedora 64 bit kernel? You can hammer rpm enough
to let you install that, and you get the 64 bit kernel + 32 bit userspace;
I did that years ago.
Then, after a while I converted some packages to 64 bit by replacing
some rpms with 64 bit versions. Then, my definition of "some" got expanded
to the entire distribution, and I got a fully 64 bit system out of what was
originally 32 bit. Not easy but possible. (anyway, the original post
asked for an easier way than a reinstall, so I don't advice doing this)
