It does. Change _UEFI_ARCH env var in
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gr/grub-efi-x86_64-bzr/PKGBUILD ? I
changed the PKGBUILD so that it is easier to install using aur helpers
with minimal PKGBUILD editing. By default _UEFI_ARCH="x86_64" since
that is the majority and better supported both by bootloaders and the
kernel. Even kernel/grub2 devs consider i386-efi low priority. I will
add a comment in the AUR page.
