i'm sorry, but correct me if im wrong, but i believe that hes stating that any 64 bit compiled app will run in 32 bit mode if 64bit is not available. (aka : backwards compatible)

Write Chameleon Code
Tiger simplifies software distribution with support for fat binaries, applications that contain both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries within a single file. Using fat binaries, network administrators distribute a single version of an application to all users regardless of their system capabilities. Once installed on a user’s system, the fat binary automatically selects the appropriate code for the system without user intervention. This greatly simplifies administration, installation and distribution of applications.
