What I don't understand is why ports supplies a i386 version, while the
development versions of boinc and seti at home-enhanced build perfectly
well on amd64.

So a better alternative (IMHO) is to download and compile the latest boinc and
seti_boinc. That way you get a native amd64 version. You need to have
/usr/ports/math/fftw and /usr/ports/ftp/curl installed, though.

This is what I did to compile both on my amd64 box:

# Download and build latest boinc:
cd ~/tmp/src
mkdir foo
cd foo
# Unfortunately, no tarballs here, otherwise I'd make it a port.
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@alien.ssl.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs/cvsroot checkout boinc
cd boinc
# Adapt the following line to the actual versions you have
# installed. The _autosetup script doesn't work, because it doesn't like
# FreeBSD's m4.
aclocal19 -I m4 && autoheader259 && automake19 && autoconf259
CFLAGS='-O3 -pipe' CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS ./configure --disable-server
--disable-dependency-tracking --enable-bitness=64 --enable-shared=no
gmake
rm -f ~/boinc/boinc_client
cp client/boinc_client ~/boinc

cd ..

# The zipfile is a nightly zipball from the seti at home site. You need the
# development version of boinc to compile it.
unzip ../../setiathome_enhanced-client-cvs-2006-05-26.zip
cd seti_boinc/
CFLAGS='-O3 -pipe' CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS ./configure --disable-graphics --disable-server --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-bitness=64 --enable-fast-math
gmake

cp client/setiathome-5.15.x86_64-unknown-freebsd ~/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/

# Modify your app_info.xml file.
cat >~/boinc/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/app_info.xml  <<EOF
