Plese don't. I routinely use FreeBSD11/i386 for cheap VPS hosts having less than 2G memory
because amd64 has noticeable overhead. I even have ZFS-only i386 VPS, here is live example with 1G only:

Mem: 10M Active, 69M Inact, 230M Wired, 685M Free
ARC: 75M Total, 1953K MFU, 31M MRU, 172K Anon, 592K Header, 42M Other
     3500K Compressed, 29M Uncompressed, 8.61:1 Ratio
Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free

The VPS has only 20G of disk space and ZFS compression gives
compressratio 2.22x for ports, 2.51x for src, 2.29x for obj
and 1.95x for installed i386 system plus other software and data.
