weird, the makefile says:

# $FreeBSD: ports/emulators/linux_base-8/Makefile,v 1.114 2005/12/26 02:49:03 
pav Exp $


.if (${ARCH} == "amd64")
LATEST_LINK:=           ${LATEST_LINK:C/linux/linux32/}
ARCH=                   i386
.endif

This should force the port to look for i386 rpms


There was a bug in previous versions, that didnt set the 
kern.elf.fallback_brand, but now is corrected:

.if (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "amd64")
FALLBACK_ELF_MIB=       kern.elf32.fallback_brand
RPMFLAGS+=              --noscripts
.else
FALLBACK_ELF_MIB=       kern.fallback_elf_brand
.endif


also is worth checking if the linuxproc filesystem is mounted, also check the 
Makefile id...
