Hi,

I don't have experience setting up a cross-build environment for
FreeBSD, but you may want to read this:

http://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2006/09/cross-building-freebsd.html

However, I have more experience setting up PXE (TFTP + NFS) booting
systems of FreeBSD.  You should read this
document which I wrote:
