There is the 'csup' project that Maxime Henrion is working on, as
Florent Thoumie has already mentioned.  There's the version at:

    http://mu.org/~mux/csup.tgz

but I think there is a more recent version somewhere.  I thought
it was going into the 'freebsd projects' repository, but I don't see
it there.  It compiles under freebsd/ppc, but I haven't tried to use
it yet.  This 'csup' project should be seeing more progress soon, as
it is one of the projects which will be worked on with Google's
"summer of code".

The way I'm working on powerpc, I cvsup the freebsd src to a
directory on a separate (i386) machine, and then NFS-export that
directory to my powerPC machine.  That has worked well enough for
me, so I haven't looked into other alternatives.  I am running on
a Mac-mini though, which has a rather slow hard drive (4200 rpm).
So in my case, it's probably faster to stick with the NFS-mounted
directory...    :-)
