There is actually an effort underway right now to make happen exactly
what you suggested: making a /compat/ia32 available with a
freebsd32-syscall table similarly to how we treat Linux.

The last word i got from the main person involved here is they
discovered a few bugs they're trying to iron out at the moment.

The person who can tell you more about that and i am sure would be
thrilled to receive additional testing support goes by the name of
Willow` on ##FreeBSD on the FreeNode IRC-network. Feel free to drop by
sometime.
