popcon.debian.org has some data about the usage of said architectures/kernels:

amd64: 92600
i386: 63099
hurd-i386: 25
kfreebsd-amd64: 68
kfreebsd-i386: 53

Holding up development of our Linux architecture for the 0.1% isn't
serving the majority of Debian's users well. I know popcon isn't
perfect, but its margin of error is acceptable for talking about the
gross disparity in number of users between Linux and Hurd/kFreeBSD.
