I would not count the 2 kfreebsd ports into the architectures at all.
The "supported architectures" contains the hardware platforms which
Debian supports:
For i386 and amd64 there is more than one kernel in Debian, but the
hardware platform is simply spoken supported.
(You could rewrite it to this: Debian can be used on 11 hardware
platforms. If you have now the possibility to use two different
kernels on some platforms, this still leaves the fact, that Debian
can be used on 11 different platforms.)
