I don't know of any port of BSD make(1) to Linux, or if that would be
sufficient to cross-build FreeBSD. I'm trying to build a snapshot of
FreeBSD make(1) which builds with autoconf, for other stuff, but it
may take a while before I have a fully autoconf-ified version and that
may still not be adequate.
You can always try booting a FreeBSD snapshot inside vmware or qemu,
and build FreeBSD from FreeBSD, but that may be a bit slow...
