You have nothing to worry about sharing data and personal configuration files 
between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Kubuntu.

There can be some minor problems with configuration files on occasion, but 
I've had the same home directory since 2001, across countless distros, hard 
drives, and computers.  It's pretty well crapped up with a lot of crufty, 
abandoned configuration files from things I haven't looked at in years, but 
that's due to my lousy housekeeping.
