On my system:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD birch.localnet 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan  3 07:46:30 UTC 2012     root at farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
$ whereis kgzip
kgzip: /usr/src/usr.sbin/kgzip
$ grep kgzip /usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile*
Makefile.amd64:# kgzip: builds, but missing support files
Makefile.i386:SUBDIR+=  kgzip

So it appears to be i386 only.
