64bit kernels will run 32bit apps, not the other way around
And I just checked - one of our early 2008 MPs(3,1) is running a 64bit kernel on OSX10.9.5 just fine

Subject: [Avid-L2] When did MacPro Towers have 64 bit, MacPro 3.1?
Trying to get some clarification on 64 bit functionality in MacPros. My experience is the first MacPros to handle 64 bit were the 3.1s. What is the deal about booting in 32 bit kernel and still running 64 bit apps? I seem to recall asking about this before but I'm trying to brush up on the specifics. I know at work my MacPro 3.1 will run Avid 6.0 so it has to have the 64 bit compatibility to some degree. I looked at another 3.1 MacPro at work and in system info it said 32 bit or 32 bit kernel. I'm being told on our new san demo these computers aren't running 64 bit but I want to get specific about this. Is system info the proper place to get the full picture?
