In a word, no. Bhyve only does native and legacy-free virtualization, which means the guest MUST be the same architecture as the host. (You can run e.g. a 32-bit i686 guest on a 64-bit amd64 host but that is a special case.)

Qemu allows you to run fully emulated guests, so running that instead of bhyve on your host is a better bet. Adjust your performance expectations accordingly.
