The msdosfs code is undergoing a total rewrite.  Attached to it will be a
vfatfs that will handle win95's VFAT.

The fs code is being coded in such a way that adding fat32 isn't supposed
to be a big problem.  This is from an earlier msg today in -current I
believe.  Realize that fat32 isn't supposed to be out until fall, and I'd
be that freeBSD's implementation will tail that by some time.

We are targeting a fall release of the new fs code.  I don't speak for the
programmers on that project though, and as always promising dates is a bad
thing in computing.
