I think its feasible.  FPC has very good cross-compiling capabilities,
so in general it should be fairly easy to bootstrap.

That being said, it's possible there needs to be some BSD-specific bits
that need to be added to these platforms.  I think it's likely that it
is missing for arches beyond x86.

I can assist if somebody wants to try adding the needed support.  The
FPC project will accept patches (as seen with recent DF support) so if
somebody wants to attempt this, the chances of success are not too bad.
