I had a closer look, and this is really a cool hack. The problem is that FreeBSD lacks support for mixed 64-bit/32-bit environments, and this approach, among others, would not get (security) updates in one of the basic libraries used; it is the equivalent of static linking. If there is a way to move most of the code into the slave port and have fewer changes to emulators/wine itself, I'd be open to consder those.
