Synopsis: ports/wine should be installable on amd64

Responsible-Changed-From-To: gerald->ports

Responsible-Changed-When: Mon Sep 1 21:40:28 UTC 2008
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Even with the kernel infrastructure in place I am not quite sure how this
is supposed to work on FreeBSD amd64 where we only have 64-bit versions of
libraries, the compiler, etc.  when Wine really needs to compile and run as
32-bit to be compatible with the respective Windows programs.
Am I missing something here?  It seems this is nothing a port can just take
care of, it's really FreeBSD as such that needs full bi-arch support here.
