Gerald,

The wiki already gives instructions on how to do just that:

Step 1:
# cd /usr/src && make buildworld installworld distribution TARGET=i386 
DESTDIR=/compat/i386
# chroot /compat/i386
# /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start
# mount -t devfs devfs /dev
# mkdir -p /usr/ports; mount nfs:/usr/ports /usr/ports  (or mount it 
via nullfs from outside the chroot, or just copy everything over)

I am not sure how to make a port require the 32bit world to be 
installed somewhere.
