I don't. Try to test a port on one of the FreeBSD machines (on an
architecture you don't have yourself). You aren't root there.

While there are still some problems doing it as an user (in some cases when
shared libs are involved), some ports can be tested this way.

If you have to park six blocks away, you will find two
