I think the real question should be what programs don't run with ia32libs, that can only be run in 32 bit chroot? I can only think of two really Open Office 2, and Firefox with flash plugin. Mostly the later because of the flash player. I know Ubuntu has OO2 running with their ia32libs, I am sure someone will speak up about that. Just looking at the orphaned list, while I am sure find tons of 32 bit programs that have no support, or most likely never have support for amd64. I thought the amd64 howto was very good about telling user's how to setup a chroot. I mean if you have installed Debian you should be able to setup a chroot following the directions. Heck if you partitioned a hard drive with parted and created your mount points it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Well you could always start another thread about multiarch again, but I think it's about a moot point now. I mean almost all the software that one needs is able to run in amd64 with ia32libs.
