Its actually not a bad thing, ending up running a bunch of i386 binaries, on an AMD64 kernel. They tend to be a bit faster, and smaller, in non-memory intensive operations. If that /usr/compat/ia32 patch works, it'd let FreeBSD32 be a port, too. Does someone here have time to put that together? (Essentally, building a package that includes all the FreeBSD binaries, etc.)
