64 bit OS works fine, but template tools are limited to 32-bit. That means you have to create 64-bit template in a more manual fashion.

64 bit host OS handles 32 bit VEs just fine -- but not the other way!

If for 32 bit, start from learning what vztmpl-centos-4 consists of (that all should be pretty straightforward), then modify it to use SLC repositories, then run vzpkgcache to create SLC templates. Any questions -- ask here.
