It seems the binary isn't included, you probably have to compile it 
yourself (It might be that it doesn't compile on freebsd, which is why 
there's no binary included).

There was a patch that got included into dmd for solaris support I 
believe, I don't know if that's up to date or if you're able to compile 
dmd for solaris.

Most probably not as it's one heck of a task to add support for another 
architecture. I'm not sure where Walter stands on this, but my guess is 
it'll be a while until it happens (if it happens). For now your best bet 
if you want 64 bit support is LDC (I'd say the same for your question 
about other operating systems too, it's probably easier to get ldc 
working on other OSes than dmd), although it currently doesn't support D2.
