I would think that
        # kFreeBSD (Debian)
        GNU/kFreeBSD)
                case "$cpu" in
                        i*86) platform="kfreebsd-i386" ;;
                        x86_64) platform="kfreebsd-amd64" ;;
                        amd64) platform="kfreebsd-amd64" ;;
                        *) platform="unknown" ;;
                esac ;;
would be correct.
(I do not know why, for "freebsd" x86_64 maps to "freebsd" and not "freebsd-
amd64")

There is some confusion. Does $cpu=amd64 exist? What about for linux?
As far as I know, 64 bit linux/freebsd/kfreebsd use the same distributions 
("amd64") for both Intel and AMD processors.
