Might be easier to just slam a Debian into a chroot.

How do chroot and Linuxulator play together, anyway? Can I have a
random-Linux in /compat/linux and then have a different one in 
/compat/linux/var/chroot/debian
?

Alternatively I could just leave this poor notebook alone WRT building
and run the same FreeBSD on one of my beefier machines to build binary
packages and share the successes.  Would probably involve two complete
installations, one with a ports tree that only ever builds OO (and
pulls in it's dependencies but nothing else).
