I don't know about PBI's specifically, but a fairly standard technique
for building i386 ports is to set up an i386 jail on an amd64 host.
That should give you something pretty much as fast as your base system.

You can create a 32bit jail in many ways, but probably the easiest thing
to do is download one of the FreeBSD 32bit .iso images.  You can then
extract the install sets using tar(1) -- from within the .iso file
system you want /usr/freebsd-dist/base.txz, and that you can untar in
the root directory of your jail to give you a pretty complete system.

Given you're after PBI's you can probably do a similar trick using
PC-BSD install images, but I don't know the details there.  I'm sure
someone on one of the various PC-BSD fora will know though.

	Cheers,
