Its actually not a bad thing, ending up running a bunch of i386
binaries, on an AMD64 kernel. They tend to be a bit faster, and
smaller, in non-memory intensive operations.

If that /usr/compat/ia32 patch works, it'd let FreeBSD32 be a port,
too. Does someone here have time to put that together? (Essentally,
building a package that includes all the FreeBSD binaries, etc.)
