Yes. FreeBSD/amd64 contains a compatibility facility
for i386 binaries. It should just work out of the box,
unless disabled explicitly.

Well, he didn't mention building ports. He only said
*running* i386 software on amd64, which is certainly
possible.
Whether i386 only packages will run on amd64 depends
on the reason why they're

Because of the error message i386 only, how do I make it install?
Do I use a force switch?

O.K I understand that. So I can see that unless I have an i386 FreeBSD
build, I really cannot
install those i386 only software titles.
In that situation I assume I can only use amd64 ports and software.
I have an idea though, would it be possible to build a i386 FreeBSD on an
