I spent the whole day installing BES on an old W2003 R2 server to discover that the Server running BES requires EMC to be installed. Alas it seems that EMC for Exchange 2010 is not available in a 32bit version. Anyway around this?

You do not need to install EMC for Exchange 2010. You need to install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=e17e7f31-079a-43a9-bff2-0a110307611e&displaylang=en
You probably want to check the BES installation guide: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/deliverables/14335/BlackBerry_Enterprise_Server_Express_for_Microsoft_Exchange-Installation_and_Configuration_Guide--984521-0120054149-001-5.0.1-US.pdf
There's a newer free version of BES available which supports installation on an x64 machine running Windows 2008. You can get it from the BlackBerry site.
