  Nah, cross-building on a non-FreeBSD platform (even another *BSD
platform) is a bit of a nightmare due to slight differences in make
syntax, utility params etc.

  You also need a x-compiler built for FreeBSD to get the correct
in-built definitions.

  NetBSD is certainly much better at this: they seem to be able to
cross-build on anything vaguely resembling Unix.
