This is possible with Konqueror only, and yes Konqueror 64 bit can use 
the 32bit plugins, like flash if you use the 32bit nspluginviewer. 
AFAIK SUSE has a setup where you can simply install the 32bit nsplugin 
aside of 64bit Konqueror with no problems.
With Firefox, this is not possible. You have to install the 32bit 
version of the browser, but you can do it, can't you. ;-)
