That does not strike me as desirable, both in terms of security but als general updates (or stability) as well as resource usage. The only real fix is for FreeBSD to start handling a 32-bit environment on a 64-bit platform as well as several Linux distributions have been doing for about a decade. > Currently the wine-fbsd64 port is i386 only.
