grub-0 is 32-bit software. You could build it without multilib but you need
the dependencies like any other package (and link them statically). And there
are other packages on the tree that don't build on all profiles.

Grub2 is not really a new version, it's a different product with different
use cases. I don't use grub-0 to boot any of my gentoo boxes but I use it for
some embedded x86 projects so it's convenient to be able build it off the
tree. I remember trying grub2 on one of them a while back and IIRC it more
than doubled the size of the image.
Just my 2 cents worth.
