Yum and so many of the applets (system-config-*) are tied to Python that you can't mess with the base version or arch of Python.
What about a 32 bit chroot using Mock? I've never done it, but that's what Mock is intended to do.
Perl.i386 will run OK in x86_64 and there is a version of perl-Inline-CPP that will allow you to write most of what you want in CPP and wrap it with Perl.
