You can try with my work-in-progress "BSD media center" based on
nanobsd/xorg/XBMC.
Instruction for building the image here:
https://code.google.com/p/bsdmc/wiki/HowToCompile

You need to edit the BSDMC.nano file and start by removing the lines:
add_port "comms/lirc"
add_port "multimedia/ffmpeg"
add_port "graphics/cairo"
add_port "multimedia/xbmc"

Once done you can add your own ports.
Then don't forget to remove some XBMC tricks in BSDMC_custom ()
The nanobsd image mount the / in read-only mode, depending of the
software used, this limitation need some tricks.
