If `equery belongs /usr/lib32` shows up empty then it should be safe, yes. If 
it doesn't then `find /usr/lib32 | xargs qfile -o` is a nice way to get a 
list of orphaned files in /usr/lib32. qfile belongs to 
app-portage/portage-utils. Also if you want to be really safe you can always 
make a backup first..
