Yes, I have frequently installed 32 bit software, including kernel, on
a box with a 64 bit processor, without any problems or protests from
the installer. Some people also seem, or seemed, to use a 32 bit
userland with a 64 bit kernel.
The other way round, of course does not work. 64 bit software will
not run with a 32 bit processor.
