First of all, let me say I'm really impressed, great work! Now my  
cube is happily running
FreeBSD with X and  XFCE 4.
I have tried already to compile firefox, and managed to have it  
compile successfully, using
netbsd and linux stuff (netbsd doesn't use g++3 name mangling for  
assembly stubs).
The result is... it starts, then dies... so the next question is, any  
progress with gdb? it is almost
impossible to determine what's going on without a debugger... :-)
While I was at it, I compiled more than 200 ports successfully,  
including the QT framework (and
it works!!).

Since the cube doesn't have internal audio, I managed to make usb  
audio work... and it works
like a charm! (I limited myself to comment out sndbuf_xxx calls in  
pcm/channel.c to get
sound.ko don't complain about missing symbols heh).

Thanks really for the good work!

Ciao
