I'm not sure I follow you:

You suggest that I change the modules directory to, say,
/usr/lib/asterisk/i686 for i686

Obviously, I won't have two copies of all the modules. So I suppose that
some of the modules in /usr/lib/asterisk/i686 will be symlinks to ../

This makes the whole story much more complicated. For instance, if I had
a simple add-on package of spandsp that dropped a little .so file into 
/usr/lib/asterisk , now I have to add to it a post-install procedure to
check for all the subdirectories of /usr/lib/asterisk and potentially
add symlinks. 

In short: definetly not the right place to place it.
