"You didn't mention that you want to build a i386-only port.
The easiest way to circumvent that restriction is to down-
load the i386 package of that port and install it.
Whether you can make that work depends on what kind of port
it is.
If you tell us *what* software you're actualy trying to
install, we might be able to provide further assistance.

O.K. the software I want to install is wine.
Another one I want to install is zsnes or snes9x.
I have attempted to install it from source, and also the ports.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was wanting to install i386 only software on
my amd64 FreeBSD build.
Not run i386 code on amd64.
Here is details about my system:
I am using a PentiumD 2.6 in dual core mode.
I have a old old pci vga display. (might upgrade very soon, expecting some new
hardware.)
A sblive sound card.
FreeBSD xxxxxxxx 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #1: Mon Aug 18 20:50:41 EDT
2008 xxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/amdcustom amd64
the xxxx is me marking out that information.
