You have 2 problems, at least.
One--yes, qemu-kvm doesn't exist for 32-bit because
32-bit isn't supported for KVM.
Second--you can't launch any KVM guest within another virtual machine.
You can only have one level deep of KVM virtualization.

With a 64-bit virtual kvm host, you should at least be able
to test the features of the virtual machine manager that would
allow you to talk to remote libvirts and xend's.
