Fails on 9-CURRENT, too. Should be marked as i386-only per ports/148948.

Otherwise works fine if compiled for 32bit mode (`-m32' in CFLAGS).

  $ uname -vm
  FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #0 r210454=bbc73dd-dirty: Sat Jul 24 21:14:04 UTC 2010     holo at raphael.local:/a/objdir/a/dirty_build/sys/PHOENIX  amd64
  $ /usr/pkg32/bin/freecolor
  Physical  : [####...............................] 11%      (493648/4165532)
  Swap      : [#################..................] 50%      (532/1056)

I'm a bit unsure about numbers, vmstat(1) reports I have only 279M free.
But it does correspond what 64bit saidar(1) shows.
