I could build one kernel that would support the hardware on both computers, or
one kernel for each computer. This would be the USB-stick i386 install. I
would also have FreeBSD 9.0 amd64 on the new computer hard drive; would put the
system source and ports tree on the hard-drive installation.
To build FreeBSD 9.0 on USB stick for the old computer, host computer would be
new amd64, cross-compiling for i386.
I see default /var partition size for new FreeBSD installations was to be 4 GB,
so I might be safer with 16 GB rather than 8 GB USB stick, even though there
would be no need to

Yes, in this case you would need to cross-compile.

I think dvd1.iso was 700 MB and would therefore fit on a CD?
I just checked, it was 700 MB:
Index of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
Up to higher level directory

The dvd1.iso file is less than 700mb and would fit on a standard cd. But
the point is you do not install from a .iso file. The .iso file is a
compressed file and when you uncompress it it's way to large to fit on a
standard cd but will fit on a dvd. Thats why its named dvd1.iso.

Depending on your particular software needs, a full FreeBSD
installation _with_ programs can fit onto an 8 GB slice (or
disk) with 50% free space. :-)
