Yes:
   > sysctl kern.elf32 
   kern.elf32.fallback_brand: -1

So far OK:
   > strings /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1 | grep libmap32
   /etc/libmap32.conf
and
   lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      22 Nov 15 17:13 /usr/libexec/ld-elf32.so.1@ -> /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1

Running 5.3-RELEASE so they are not present, as expected.

Aha.  Yes, I built with build32.sh as it was the only way I found to 
do it.  If this is not correct, perhaps someone could put up a 
quick "how-to" page and post a URL?  

It would also be useful to understand how to build a port for i386,
google was not helpful in determining how to do this.

You are correct:
   72509 hello    CALL  sysarch(0x1,0xffffd70c)
   72509 hello    RET   sysarch -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
   72509 hello    PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
   72509 hello    NAMI  "hello.core"

So, it looks like build32.sh is broken on 5.3-RELEASE.  What now?
