This is what my 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 looks like:

drwxr-xr-x 275 root root 77824 2012-01-29 20:06 /usr/lib
drwxr-xr-x  35 root root 98304 2012-01-20 11:40 /usr/lib32
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     3 2011-05-03 21:18 /usr/lib64 -> lib
drwxr-xr-x  31 root root 32768 2012-01-27 21:23 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
drwxr-xr-x  20 root root 16384 2012-01-26 13:30 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/

So I think the transition is well under way.
My impression is that any distribution could do a behind-the-scenes 
transition to triplets.
And it would be beneficial, as it is a generic directory layout usable 
for _any_ architecture, not just x86. (emulators!)

FWIW, this is how ldconfig prints the paths to libX11.
(with the providing package added after the hash)

libX11.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6  # 
libx11-6
libX11.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6                        # 
ia32-libs
libX11.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6           # 
libx11-6:i386


Cheers,
