If your app is 32-bit only, then you don't need to build a 64-bit library. That would just waste space if your app isn't going to use it.

But keep in mind that the 32-bit CPU architecture on OS X is quite old, uses an older version of the runtime, and is slow because of a quirk in how it calls functions. Even if your app doesn't need to access huge amounts of memory, unless you're stuck with supporting a legacy technology that Apple didn't port to 64-bit, or your app must support Leopard, then you ought to consider transitioning your app to 64-bit, at least on OS X.
