I successfully built FreeBSD 10.0 early beta i386 from the same beta level amd64 after building for amd64 from a USB-stick installation of FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE.

You can find some advice on that subject on wiki.freebsd.org i386-wine page:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/i386-Wine

But I also built the kernel.  I built ports from boot into this installation rather than chroot.  Heavy work is done on hard drive.

Now I have FreeBSD 10.0 prerelease on a 32 GB USB 3.0 stick.

Src tree and compiling work was done on hard drive.

I checked out and subsequently updated src tree using devel/subversion built from pkgsrc on a USB-stick installation of NetBSD-current amd64.

That was because of bug in re(4) Ethernet driver that also affects OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD but not NetBSD or Linux.

Now I have wi-fi working on Hiro H50191 USB adapter, device rsu available in FreeBSD releng 10 and 11.
