I'm using this for installing acroread and skype on amd64 machines:

hooks/updatebase.MYCLASS:
.
.
if ifclass AMD64; then
    $ROOTCMD dpkg --add-architecture i386
fi
.
.



And then I use these package names in my package_config/DESKTOP:

acroread:i386
acroread-escript:i386
acroread-plugins:i386
skype:i386


This works on Debian 7 and 8 with FAI 4.X.
