What we currently have in ports (i386-wine) is a precompiled package for amd64. Building it requires a 32bit chroot or jail and then packaging up not only wine but all of its 32bit dependencies. It is very tedious and the guy who is doing it has it down to a science. We can’t really build this in poudriere as the resulting package will be 32bit and you won’t be able to install it on amd64 because pkg will notice the arch difference.

You can use multiple repos, but I don’t think you will be able to use a different architecture.

If you want to use multiple repos, however, you should also move to the new pkg configuration format:

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf

You can put all of your repos into their own config files. Format looks like this:

FreeBSD: {
 url: "http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest”,
 mirror_type: "srv”,
  enabled: yes
}
