I ran into this exact error message when I upgraded one amd64 machine
from 8.0 to 8.1, and didn't read UPDATING close enough. Apparently
COMPAT_IA32 was renamed to COMPAT_FREEBSD32 (20100406), and the new
kernel I built lacked support for 32-bit binaries. UPDATING now says
(20100417) that COMPAT_IA32 is an alias for COMPAT_FREEBSD32, but it
could be something to double check in your case.
