Your x86-64 fontconfig and i386 fontconfig are of the same version? If
so, there'll be no conflict even if they have some common files (cause
those files would be the same anyway). If no, then there's a good reason
RPM stops you: the i386 package will stomp over the files needed by the
x86-64 package as well.
So the rule of thumb is:
1. With most RedHat packages, if x86-64 and i386 versions of the same
library ('fontconfig' package is a library) are installed, their
versions have to match, because the files they share
(e.g. /usr/share/man/man1/fc-list.1.gz) have to be the same.
2. It's not possible to install side-by-side x86-64 and i386 versions of
application packages, because some of the files they'll share
(e.g. /usr/bin/app) are bound not be the same.
