Yes. Since DMD on OS X got support for 64bit DMD has only been shipped 
as 64bit. There's basically no Mac computers left that doesn't support 
64bit. On some older computers the kernel is run in 32bit mode even 
thought the CPU supports 64bit. These computers can run both 32 and 
64bit binaries.

If one really do want to ship a 32 and a 64bit binary the OS X way is to 
create a universal binary containing both the 32 and 64bit version. All 
system libraries on OS X are universal binaries, so cross-compiling is 
usually no problem.
