After installing the port on your build box go ahead and run the make package on the /usr/port/portname directory. The resulting package will be in that directory. Copy it to your other i386 box and pkg_add pgkname and it will work. I have even done it with newer FBSD operation system version on build box and the created pkg ran fine on production box with older FBSD version. But never did it between major versions 5.x build box to 4.x production box. I would say since the buildworld works for your amd64 world the packages should be ok also. Give it an try to verify. I normally only use pkg_add -r from the FBSD site. Only do port install when I need non-standard config of package.

I have a central build server running FreeBSD-5.2.1 amd64, which is happily building world/kernel for amd64 and i386. In order to keep everything all on the same machine, I would like to be able to build packages from ports for both platforms. Is this doable? I have checked the mailing list archives, and nothing that seems relevant came back. Can't seem to figure it out from the docs, man pages, handbook etc. Any advice welcome, even if it's no more than "get another build box"!
