What package will work to run Windoze programs in FreeBSD/amd64? I don't

Father switched to FreeBSD/amd64 (which is what I run) and he can't seem to
find one. I first steered him toward vmware3, which I found in the ports.
for vmware3 you'll still need a vmware for linux commercial license to use it.
But it refused to install because of being the 64-bit OS. So, I tried to
install wine, also from ports, and was told the same thing. I went to the
wine web site and thought I remembered seeing something about using wine on
amd64. So, what windows emulator can be run in amd64?
have you tried qemu ?
I particularly feel it's not worth the effort installing windows inside a vm
like qemu..it's just feels s slow (because it is :) ... wine seems to me a
better way to go, but i didnt know about the 64-bit issue.
good luck,
