Usually yes, but there is a work-around:

Create a temporary chroot with a non-no-multilib installation.
Use that to create binary packages. 
Then change the profile of the main installation to a non-no-multilib profile
Using the packages created in the chroot, do an "emerge -e @world"

That worked for me. (Found this in a blogposting somewhere)
