OK, I managed to run it, and I can confirm it indeed lets you use
32bit flash in 64bit browser (I have tested konqueror and firefox).

Packages I had to install from th-i686:
$ rpm -qa | grep i686 | sort
atk-1.18.0-1.i686
cairo-1.4.6-1.i686
cups-lib-1.2.10-2.i686

zlib-1.2.3-4.i686

I did not manage to do the Flash plugin installation "the right way" though ;-)

I just manually moved libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt to
/usr/lib/browser-plugins
Then run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
That in turn created npwrapper.libflashplayer.so in
~/.mozilla/plugins/ which I moved to /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/.
Chmod 755 *.so, 644 *.xpt, chown root:root, and voila!

I'd be nice to see a kosher way to do this, but I can live without it ;-)
