I think the confusion comes that you expected the same convention as for
e.g. Linux.

Solaris has had a different convention: i386pc is the general architecture
for x86 systems, then the actual supported ISAs are given by isainfo, and
the current kernel ISA given by isainfo -k.

The amd64 ISA is seen as an extension of i386 ISA within the i386pc
architecture, not as a separate architecture.
