reports for tier 2:

QUOTE
Tier 2 platforms should be self-hosting either via the in-tree toolchain or an
external toolchain. If an external toolchain is required, official binary
packages for an external toolchain will be provided.
END QUOTE

riscv64, riscv64sf are listed as tier 2 for 13.x and later on
https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ . (There are notes around for
riscv64sf possibly being dropped.)

As for my cross builds/installs notes . . .

Definitely true that I have not been through all the steps
for cross builds/installs in some time. Do not take the
below as an overall claim that there would not be problems.

Having poor access to the media would be a pain for sure.
Nothing here deals with that.

As I remember, some activities like etcupdate (these days)
work from the builder/installer machine when done
appropriately (referencing the propriate source tree, told
the architecture, and target's mount and the like). For
example, etcupdate has:

     -M options     Pass options as additional parameters to make(1) when
                    building a “current” tree.  This can be used for to set
                    the TARGET or TARGET_ARCH variables for a cross-build.

(not just the likes of -s and -D and -d for where to get
or put information).
