But you should get a radiusd.conf.rpmnew, yes?  Not that this helps.

You could write a %post script that changes libdir (perl -i -pe) on the
existing radiusd.conf if the current value differs only in 32/64 bitness.

%post

%ifarch x86_64 [ other 64-bit arches you want to support ]
libdir32=${%{_libdir}%%64}/freeradius
/usr/bin/perl -i -pe "s:$libdir32:%{_libdir}/freeradius:" /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf
%endif

And you'd need a 'PreReq: perl' as well unless you have one of the
very latest rpm versions that automatically figures out scriptlet deps.

Probably not the cleanest solution but maybe it's good enough.
