Yes, it is. There are 32-bit UEFI systems in existence, although they are rare.

The general build policy for iPXE is to compile as many files as possible in each build. This helps to avoid code rot: if a change is introduced which prevents the EFI code from compiling, then it will be noticed immediately since the EFI code is compiled even when building a standard PCBIOS target.
