Once the

-stable packages/ports is impossible to make, so to make a blanket pronouncement stating that
-stable packages/ports can run as expected on
-release is likely never to be made.
Note that
-release + all released patches is very closely equivalent to
-stable. Traditionally, there are no library changes made from
-release to
-stable. Most likely,
-stable packages/ports will work on a fully patched
-release system, but this is conjecture on my part, & I highly doubt that anything will ever be said officially to remove the existing ambiguity.
The project wants to focus on new development in
-current. This is why
-stable tends to be short shrifted.

...are there also -stable packages available for the i386 architecture?

No evidence is seen on the ftp sites at this time.
