Dynamic loader setup shouldn't be any different, just skip installation

Also, CLFS multilib only installs 32-bit *libraries* - any packages that
don't install libraries are never built for 32 bits at all (such as sed
and iproute2).

Ok, sorry, I was looking at the wrong CLFS page, I now found the one
multilib one and see what you mean. Still, I already have a "native"
lfs/blfs 64-bit system and was hoping that there's an easy way to
convert this to a multilib system without redoing all the already
installed 64-bit stuff.

I've not built a multilib system, but as a minimum you will need to remove the symlinks lib64 -> lib in both / and /usr. Then rename lib as lib64 and mkdir lib in both places.

At that point you need to build the 32-bit libraries that are needed by skype and other 32-bit binaries.

Try ldd on the binaries to see what 32-bit libraries they need. You will almost certainly need glibc and probably binutils.

Of course you need to backup your entire system before trying any major modifications like this.
