>Description:
misc/compat4x reports "unsupported" because 4.x did not run amd64.  However, amd64 supports running i386 binaries and libraries.  Obviously, 4.x-i386 binaries should be able to run.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/misc/compat4x && make install
>Fix:
Port should be adjusted to download the packages for the i386 architecture and install them in /usr/local/lib32/compat
