From Snow Leopard onwards, Mac OS X will run any 64-bit-capable app in 64-bit mode regardless of the boot kernel.

I've been told that the way the OS and application handles addressing the memory is fundamentally different. You can emulate a 32-bit application to run in 64-bit mode while in a 64-bit OS, but you wouldn't be able to do it the other way around because there isn't a big enough pipeline to send information to the RAM... so I've been told.
