On my i686, after the install, but before any yum updates, I did:

# cd '/media/FC_6 i386 DVD/Fedora/RPMS'
# (
# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n"
# ls *.rpm
# ) | sort | uniq -u >/tmp/snafu

I had to hand edit /tmp/snafu to remove the i386 rpms of glibc and openssl and the i586 kernel packages at this point (which I didn't have to do on the x86_64 ISO). Then I did:

# rpm -Uvh --nosignature $(< /tmp/snafu)

and took a coffee break.
