I am not actually maintaining the AMD64 version of the Wine port for 
FreeBSD, but if I understand your correctly the solution to the problem 
you ran into is installing the 32-bit version of binutils into the build 
environment for that version of Wine?  If so, it might be best to update 
the Wiki instructions for the AMD64 accordingly and should someone submit 
a version of the port for AMD64 support, that would be a good 
BUILD_REQUIRES I guess, though I'm puzzled what the actual issue may be.
