Is there a way to do this, short of taking the source rpm, renaming it, and creating one's own package?

Renaming it won't help. You need a 32 bit runtime package. We have them in the distribution as packages with -32bit in their names. These are essentially the bare dynamic libs taken from the i586 packages. This is so that there is no overlap between the 32 and the 64 bit packages.

Well, I suspected that, but considered to ask before exploring other directions. There ain't no 32 bit runtime packages for the libraries that I need, namely libapr1 and libtcnative-1-0. (I need to have a Tomcat test environment with 32bit Java.) How are the -32bit rpms normally created? I wanted to look if there is a .spec file that creates them from the i586 packages; but zypper source-install tells me it doesn't find appropriate source packages for any -32bit.rpm that I tried. If there is no automatism that I can re-use, I'll probably have to go forward and write such a .spec file. Anyhow, thanks a lot for the quick answer, it pointed me already to the right direction.
