Unless you are a developer, you don't solve the problem. It is currently not supported. There are folks attempting to modify wine to compile on FreeBSD/amd64.

No idea. You might want to check freebsd-emulation mailing list archives to see if there's any progress being made.

Better yet, stop relying on windows binaries because there is a lot of great open source software that can replace them. For anything else, maybe try virtualbox?

Another option is emulators/qemu. Check out HOWTO: QEMU on FreeBSD (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=175).
