Ut oh.  It just popped into my head that the standard freebsd update
procedure is to install the kernel, then reboot, then install the
world, right?  (I've never once done it that way in 20 years of using
freebsd, I always install both at once then reboot.)

I think that may be the problem here, if you did it the right way. 
 Once you're running on the new kernel, TARGET_ARCH=armv6 isn't a
crossbuild anymore because it thinks armv6 is the current arch.  I
wonder if it would work for you to try:

  setenv UNAME_P armv6hf
  make -j6 installworld TARGET_ARCH=armv6

As long as the build system uses uname (not sysctl hw.machine_arch),
that should fool it enough to do the proper install.
