I don't think that will work. An emul chroot might, as Ottavio suggests. The problem with mixing i386/amd64 in the same /usr/pkg is that each wants to link with dependencies from pkgsrc, so you end up needing i386 dependencies as well. So I think you really need too trees. An exception would be a package with no (pkgsrc) dependencies. That will probably work if you just pkg_add -f to override the arch check.
