Maybe as a separate change, but is it time to stop shipping lib32 by default as well?

No. Disabling 32-bit compatibility by default without following the proper deprecation procedures (despite it being enabled if toggled) is, IMHO, a POLA violation.

We had discussed this at the Triangle BUG meeting this past week, but one problem that needs a solution if that were to be done is dealing with ports that build as 32-bit only. Having some way to be able to have the port have a dependency on lib32 and to be able to fetch/install it.

I suppose at minimal there could be a message displayed if the 32-bit libs are not installed, but without pkg base, that might be a best guess, since there's not dependency info for it normally.

Although I guess if one were to uncheck the lib32 box currently, there would still be the same issue today.
