I have made RPMS for the LFS book and created multi-arch spec files. The installation of these RPMS onto a blank hard drive is done with shell scripts. I have not come across a problem doing multilib because I have made it for i686, UltraSPARC and PowerPC G4, there for no need for multilib yet. Good luck with it tho :)
Way back when I did it with i386 LFS and msde a cdrom installer using a modified version of the slinky installer from the RULE project - I was thinking of doing a similar thing. Somewhere I still have that modified slinky.
But with respect to the RPMs - I don't want multilib RPMs that contain binaries for several arch types, I want proper RPMs that only contain binaries for one arch type, built in a mock environment containing only RPMs of that arch type. I was hoping I could build those RPMs from multiarch CLFS but it was glibc and gcc that proved to be problematic, particularly glibc - which quite demonstratably built differently (not as complete) when --target="i686" was passed to rpmbuild, so the 64-bit apps were impacting 32-bit building.
