I guess with some rewriting we could support both. That would tripple
your apt database though (only doubles it currently).

Have you tested if this works right? Installed a few packages and run
them?

I'm unsure right now if kfreebsd is more like amd64 (has a libc6-i386)
or like ia64 (needs ia32-libc6). Without checking I'm guessing it
needs ia32-libc6 and would get it.
