If you are running CURRENT or RELENG_5, you can put "WITH_LIB32=yes" 
in /etc/make.conf and you will get 32 bit libraries with 'make world'.

If you are running 5.3-RELEASE (any build for the last few months) you 
can "cd /usr/src; sh tools/lib32/build.sh" and it should make the base 
32 bit libraries for you.
