The wine port only works on i386: # grep ARCHS /usr/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=3D i386 If I understood correctly, the problem is that wine is a 32-bit program. See http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit It would need 32-bit versions of all the libraries that it uses. The FreeBSD ports system doesn't currently isn't equipped to handle this. Not that this would be impossible, but nobody has bothered.=20 The concensus seems (and rightly so IMHO) to be that development effort is better spent cleaning up 32-bit programs so they can run on amd64 natively than providing a 32-bit infrastructure on amd64 when you can easily run 32-bit programs on FreeBSD i386 if necessary. It is possible to use a 32-bit jail on amd64. If you install the ports tree in that jail you could perhaps build wine? I haven't tried this, though.
