 Please read the freebsd-amd64 mailing list archive.  There
 is ample information there to help answer your problem.
 
 In short, install the source tree.  Add WITH_LIB32=yes
 to /etc/make.conf.  Add
 
 options         COMPAT_IA32             #Compatible with i386 binaries
 options         LINPROCFS
 options         COMPAT_43
 options         COMPAT_LINUX32
 
 to your kernel configuration file.  Follow the instructions
 in /usr/src/UPDATING on procedure for updating your system.
 
 After the system has rebooted, install the linux ports you
 want.  You'll definitely want
 
 linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_2 XFree86 libraries, Linux binary
 linux_base-8-8.0_6  Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (only for i386)
