require a complete reinstall?
My understanding is that this has not changed, i.e. the move from prebuilt
emul-linux package to abi_x86_32 only applies to existing multilib systems.
Moving from plain aka non-multilib to multilib is still more or less
unsupported/impossible and requires a reinstall.

Reinstall is not the only way, but it certainly the simplest.

Alternatively, instead of building the pkgs in a chroot, you can
use multilib pkgs from gentoo experimental. Though, I wouldn't
recommend doing it unless you think you are up to it and if
needed should seek live help over IRC.
