Depending on your distribution you should be able to install 32bit
binaries alongside 64bit binaries; for example in Debian you can do:
http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/03/install-32-bit-deb-packages-on-64-bit/
Alternatives would be to build the code yourself as Scott said, or to
copy the binaries across from your 32bit system. Assuming you did the
latter you'd need to make sure you got all the appropriate libraries as
well which may be a bit of a fiddle---especially to keep up to date.
Then again, if you're building it yourself you'd need all the libraries
anyway so you may as well figure out how to get 32bit packages installed
in your 64bit system anyway.
