The thing is, I don't think you should have to set LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH.

Did you reboot after installing the 32 bits libraries? Because if you
do, /etc/rc.d/ldconfig should run ldconfig for the 32-bits libraries in
/usr/lib32. See ldconfig32_paths in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and
/etc/rc.d/ldconfig.

Alternatively you can run '/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start' as root after
installing the libraries.

If that doesn't work, it would be a bug.
