All multilib means is that the 64-bit repo contains 32-bit packages as
well as the normal 64-bit packages. By default only packages with a
-devel subpackage are considered multilib; I think you need to log a
request with releng to make other packages multilib. And even then
you'll need a good reason for them to make it so.
