Thanks — understood.
So the current practical situation seems to be:

 - FreeBSD 15.x won’t have a supported FreeBSD:15:i386 package feed, so
pkg32-style host-side installs aren’t a supported path.

 - A 14.x i386 world in a jail/chroot can keep 32-bit userland available for
now, but that’s inherently time-limited by 14.x support/EOL and shouldn’t be
treated as a long-term solution.

Given that, the sustainable direction for Wine/Proton on 15.x looks like moving
toward the newer WoW64-based approach (as discussed in bug #288475), so that
32-bit Windows titles don’t depend on an i386 ports userland on the host.

My original report mixed “orientation question” with “support expectations”
more than intended — sorry for the confusion/noise. I think this bug can be
closed on my side; I’ll follow up in the WoW64/Wine-Proton tracking context
instead (and I’m happy to help test or document a reproducible workflow if
there’s an appropriate place to do that).
