I beiieve most package managers have a way to force installation of a package, breaking its dependencies. If you really want to do that, ask on your distro's support forum what the command would be for whatever package manager you're using.

Your other option is to build Wine yourself, and only build 64 bit Wine.

FYI, installing pure 64 bit Wine is not supported, as only pure 64 bit Windows apps will work, and there are very few of them--most 64 bit apps still have 32 bit parts. If you insist on doing that, any problems you encounter are yours to solve.
