You're running i386 userspace on an x86_64 kernel. Since that kernel provides 32-bit binary compatibility for userspace and most kernel interfaces, this is generally working quite well. But there are a few points which require manual tweaking. Iptables is one of them. A i386 iptables simply won't work on a x86_64 kernel, because there is no 32-bit compatibility interface for iptables. So all you need is a 64-bit iptables binary. You can manually install the amd64 iptables package on Sarge with "dpkg --force-architecture". Also, you have to make sure that you have a compatible 64-bit libc, for example from the amd64-libs package.
