Yes, Dmitry Chagin commited a large number of changes to FreeBSD head in
June to add Linux 64bit  emulation. It is unlikely to make it into 10.2
release in time, but I heard people were trying.

Others (including Allan Jude) are now working on changes to the ports tree
to provide 64bit Linux ports.
