I have some patches that install everything into /usr/arm-freebsd
that's needed for most configure scripts to do the right thing.  This
would be the best solution.

However, since I don't have those hacks packaged up, the next best
thing is to cd to the src directory and do make buildenv.  This gives
you a build environment that has the cross compilers in place.  Don't
know if it would work for something as complex as uboot.

Interested in testing some patches if I run some diffs?
