 Yes, this is the port amd64 uses should install to run their *i386* Windows=

 binaries.  The future is likely to hold a wine port that runs amd64 Windows=
 =20
 binaries. =20
 
 wine-amd64 was my original name for the port but some mistook that port to =
 be=20
 the amd64 port of wine, not the i386 port of wine for amd64 FreeBSD. =20
 
 I suppose wine-i386 may be less ambiguous but then that may lead some to th=
 ink=20
 that port is for i386 only. =20

 I prefer the colour that prevents people from accidental mistaking the=20
 bikeshed for a carshed (and trying to fit their car in the bikeshed). =20
 Luminous pink would be a good start ;-)
 
 Seriously, the port currently is ONLY_FOR_ARCH=3Di386 since FreeBSD does no=
 t=20
 support cross building and I have not added the ability for the port to=20
 install from an i386 package (although the idea is currently fermenting). =
