Yep, that did the trick!   I'm now able to build world / kernel for ARM on my MacBook Pro* and boot the result on the PI with no problems:

FreeBSD pi 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r252509M: Tue Jul  2 00:57:07 PDT 2013     jkh at whappy:/usr/obj/arm.armv6/usr/src/sys/RPI-B  arm

I even have NFS up and running on the PI since adding "options NFSD" to the RPI-B kernel.  Since there are no modules built for ARM (why is that?) that was kind of my only option.  Might be worth adding to the RPI-B configuration file until such time as that changes!

* OK, to be more accurate, I actually have FreeBSD-current running under VMWare Fusion and the Mac's built-in SD card reader assigned to the VM, which lets me mount it and DESTDIR=/sd in order to install the world/kernel on the SD card.    Unfortunately, you can't set DESTDIR to an NFS mount because the attempts to set the immutable flags blow the build up. :)
