Hello Chris, I can sell you one :)
Anyway, I belive what's happening is that you should copy GENERIC not in /usr/src/sys/amd64 directory, but in /usr/src/sys/i386 k7 is a 32 bit CPU so it is i386. Perhaps you could also try building FreeBSD on your faster box, I did that when I had 2 32bit machines and it worked well. I'm assuming setting proper CPU would be enough, but I have yet to try to build 32 version on 64bit.
