Quick question. Since Skype is still only available in i586 arch, and a webcam requires a kernel module to work, does that mean they cannot work together when running a x86_64 kernel? IOW, can skype use a webcam on a 64 bit Linux?

It's no problem since the interface is V4L and just works through a device node.
