How does the system know what is OS and what is 32-bit apps?
OS works in kernel space while application is not.
PAE affects paging system allowing software to address 2^36 bytes of memory.
You can access it in kernel space, but user space applications are limited
to 2^32 bytes of virtual memory

About to build a replacement system for an older i386 setup. A few
years ago I had tried the amd64 port on it and found it was frustrating

large annoyance too.

On a 64-bit system, if you build a binary with the -m32 flag, it
should run on both i386 and x86-64 systems. A binary built with -m64
will only run on x86-64. Does that help?

Actually, -m32 on amd64 won't generate usable binaries, since

this relates to what i found in machine/types.h,
