The only way to install an i386 package on FreeBSD/amd64 is to use a staging area, and only install the 32bit libraries into PREFIX/lib32. You then install the amd64 package, to have access to the 64bit programs. Then to install the i386 wine package, extract it to the staging area and check if any libraries are going to conflict with the 64bit versions, if not use pkg_add, otherwise you'll have to manually install the files. The only problem, is you no longer can use pkg_delete to remove the 32bit libraries as they wouldn't have been registered in /var/db/pkg.
