porting node to Pi

Hi all!
I've just bought my Pi B+ (not the latest Pi 2) and installed the FreeBSD 10.1 STABLE image. It works! 
Then I realise that my fav app Node is not supported straight off the ports. I tried downloading the 0.10.x source and compiling but it's a dead end too. The only solution open to me is to install Debian Wheezy, and node installed easily.
Since Node works off Pi+Linux, I'm hopeful that it will too under FreeBSD (since it works off-the-shelf for x86 platforms). I'm been advised to pose my question to this list: is there anyone whom I can work with to get Node running on the Pi? I have the hardware and maybe a little time. I just don't know how to get started and how to work around the compile fails.
