Only if you pollute your system with 32-bit multilibs. A pure x86_64 system
doesn't have any more packages than a 32-bit one.
Fedora x86_64 repos do however carry ix86 packages around which shows in
metadata sizes and I guess to some extent in performance of some yum
operations.
and in ...

... maintenance efforts (At the very point you have one true 32bit-only
capable machine around, installing x86_64 on a single machine means
duplicating the maintenance effort).
These probably aren't things to be generally overly concerned
about though,
... try a yum update over GSM or over a modem and you'll very soon
experience what I am talking about.
and maybe not even what Ralf meant (he specifically mentioned
rpms).
I was indirectly referring to this (c.f. another thread on this list
earlier this week).
