Doesn't strike me as a bad idea, but you should be able to manage this by performing an install from a customised repository (minus all of the i386 arch packages), running genhdlist and installing, then ensuring any installations are done along the lines of:
yum install <foo>.x86_64
A 'yum update' already does The Right Thing and only updates installed packages, so doesn't pull in any 32-bit packages that aren't already installed.
Maybe a "64-bit pure" flag for Anaconda would help make this easier?
Perhaps call it "native binaries only" just in case there are more multilib architectures in Fedora's future.
The easiest solution will be to give the user an option to add yum exclude flags during the installation.
