Not any more. Dapper-64 comes with the 32-bit libraries, and they have
fixed things so that you can install 32-bit apps that don't have a
64-bit binary by using force-architecture. The Ubuntu forums have lots
of discussion of it. 

Furthermore, some clever chap made a script (Automatix) that will do
the force-architecture for favorite apps, plus it will install nVidia
drivers for you, and a few other things that people find hard to do.
