Either the BBB or the RPi.

Both are reasonably well-supported on FreeBSD/ARM
right now.  Each has issues, but there are enough
people using each one that the issues are steadily
getting resolved.

Yep.  That would be one of the "issues."

If your primary concern is build time for ports, talk
to Stacey Son and Baptiste about Stacey's QEMU
ARM activator.  Basically, they've come up with a
technique for running cross-builds on AMD64
hosts targeting ARM and MIPS at nearly native
performance and using the native build scripts.

It's the most promising approach so far for doing
bulk builds targeting ARM and MIPS.  Very
clever, but hard to explain.
