dmd2-2.052 is only for i386, while you are running amd64 (or dmd2 on FreeBSD)

There is not plan to have dmd a 64bit executable. There have been reports 
that you can get it to build but support for it does not exist. However 
if you are interested in writing 64bit programs the 32bit version can 
still produce 64bit code with the -m64 flag. This may work for BSD, 
though it was develop on Linux, I think someone reported it worked?
