A tun/tap driver for an i386 OS X

Hello everyone!

I have a PowerMac running 10.6.8 and I'd love to get it connected to my 
VPN. However, even by compiling tuntaposx by hand on the said MacPro, I 
see that the kernel module is apparently built for x86_64 systems:

macintosh MacOS  ❯❯ pwd
/Library/Extensions/tun.kext/Contents/MacOS
macintosh MacOS  ❯❯ file tun
tun: Mach-O 64-bit kext bundle x86_64


Because YES! The system is running on an i386 (not stricto sensus) CPU
(or maybe am I misinterpreting the meaning of
"Darwin macpro 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun  7 16:33:36 
PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
" ?).

Has anyone heard of an OS X tun/tap driver which could work on 32 bits 
platforms?
