I don't really see your point; what's wrong with having support for i386,
just being hidden behind the need to tweak some things (i.e. to recompile
a custom kernel)?  Methinks that we can expect certain level of competence
of someone who is willing to install FreeBSD-5 on i386, definitely being
able to rebuild a kernel (which is actually pretty easy to do compared to
Linux, for me at least).  There's also an option of putting GENERIC-386
next to GENERIC config file in /sys/i386/conf.

Just my $.02.
