No.  The Apple-provided JRE 6 supports both 32 and 64 bit.

Note that there are cases where LO works on Mavericks just fine.  There 
are other cases where it reportedly doesn't, but without more specific 
data it is hard to tell why (at lest for somebody who never was able to 
reproduce the problem).

Quoting what I wrote in the "LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 
(Mavericks)" thread on this mailing list:  "So, one quick fix for people 
who are stuck with Writer keeping crashing would probably be to move 
away the wiki-publisher extension that is bundled in the LibreOffice 
installation.  To do that in Finder, first make sure LibreOffice is not 
running, then navigate to the LibreOffice (aka LibreOffice.app) 
application, from the right-click menu select 'Show Package Contents', 
there navigate from 'Contents' to 'share' to 'extensions' and move the 
'wiki-publisher' folder to the trash (or move it to some other place 
outside the 'extensions' folder).  Then create a new folder (with more 
or less arbitrary name, you can use 'Dummy') within the 'extensions' 
folder.  When you start LibreOffice again, the problem should be gone 
(it might show a 'LibreOffice quit unexpectedly' dialog once directly 
while starting, which is an unrelated problem and a different story, in 
which case just press the 'Reopen' button)."
