Apart from the fact that wine only works on i386, you're confusing packages and ports. The command 'pkg_add wine' tells pkg-add to install a package from a file called 'wine' in the current directory. You can read the manual page for pkg_add with the command 'man pkg_add'. /usr/ports/emulators/wine is the ports directory you can use to build wine. To do so, do the following as root: cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine make make install clean On an amd64 machine, you'll get an error when running make, because wine is only for i386.
