Nope. Postgres data directories are not usually compatible across
different architectures. If you'd gone 32->64 you could install a
32-bit build of Postgres and do something with that, but in this
direction I'm afraid you're out of luck. Borrow an amd64 machine from
somebody for long enough to run pg_dump ...
