I'd be very interested in hearing about successful port cross-building strategies, too.  I've used poudriere successfully to build x86 ports, but it failed when trying to build for arm.  It would be a big win for me if I could add an arm pkgng repo to my poudriere build machine.

I believe I've previously had success with this in /etc/src.conf:

=====
CC=gcc
CXX=g++
CPP=gcpp
=====

However, I haven't done a lot of native builds (maybe just one successfully)---I have built using crochet on another machine most of the time.

Cheers,

Paul.
