For remote opengl, you simply use remote X connections which supports
glx. After all X was designed to work with remote connections natively.
ssh -X remotemachine and then running glxgears works just as fast as if
I was local.

Well I would think using a 32bit chroot to install 32bit software would
be more likely to be successful. Forcing packages with the wrong
architecture (forcing anything at all actually) is usually a recipe for
problems.
