The 32-bit "pseudo-machine" still isn't *running* the the pure 64-bit app. As you said, X is a client/server protocol, so it doesn't matter the "bittness" of either the client or the app. They are dis- associated. Now, if the OP's question really was "can a 32-bit X server run inside a chroot jail on an otherwise pure-64 system", then that would have elicited a totally different response from me.
