You don't swap over to 32-bit.  You can run 32-bit FreeBSD
or linux binaries on the 64-bit FreeBSD (as known as FreeBSd-amd64).

Add the following to your kernel config and rebuild.

options 	COMPAT_IA32		#Compatible with i386 binaries
options 	COMPAT_LINUX32  #Compatible with i386 linux binaries


Add "WITH_LIB32=yes" to /etc/make.conf and rebuild world.
