Definitely true. Let's give more general advice though: sometimes you 
find i386 only packages, especially from 3rd parties.

If you have the source repository:

# apt-get build-dep package
# apt-get source -b package
# dpkg -i package.deb

If you only have package.dsc, package.orig.tar.gz and (optional) 
package.diff.gz:

$ dpkg-source -x package.dsc
$ cd package
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
$ debuild -us -uc -b
$ sudo dpkg -i ../package.deb
