xulrunner is in the multilib layman overlay; I think you just need to
add multilib to the overlay and set the 'lib32' USE flag.

Note, however, that you'll end up building all of xulrunner's
dependencies as 32-bit, and their dependencies, etc. It could take a
while.

What will happen to the existing lib64 xulrunner on my system? will it
be replaced by lib32? Also will the USE flag lib32 show up after I add
the multilib overlay? At the moment I get:

-> euse -i lib32
global use flags (searching: lib32)
************************************************** **********
no matching entries found

local use flags (searching: lib32)
************************************************** **********
no matching entries found

Will a lib32 show up when xulrunner is emerged from the multilib
overlay? As of now no such USE flag exists

-> equery uses xulrunner
