Most of my boxes at work are 64bit, my fileserver at home is running  
64bit ppc.

You don't need to run a chroot jail to run 32bit apps.  install the  
ia32-libs and it'll work with minimal issues.
See this url for more info: http://www.debian-administration.org/ 
articles/534

Also, java is available in both 32bit and 64bit variants from debian.
