Not for me, I can coinstall libxft-dev:amd64 and libxft-dev:i386 just
fine.

That's already the case:
,----
| $ aptitude show libxft-dev | grep -E Multi-Arch
| Multi-Arch: same

Most definitely not, libxi-dev and libxtst-dev are also already
"Multi-Arch: same".
My hunch is that you are running unstable and there might be a version
skew for some dependency package (libc6-dev, maybe?) which prevents you
from installing both libxft-dev:amd64 and libxft-dev:i386. If that is
the case, please retry after the next mirror push.
