The instructions are for building wine/i386 on a amd64 environment.
You will end up with i386 binaries, but the base will be under
/compat/i386. Provided your kernel has COMPAT_FREEBSD32, it will be
able to run wine/i386 in /compat/i386/usr/local/bin.
All your amd64 binaries will still be there from / downwards.
Cheers.
