Depending on the options defined, it may build straight off, or may
need a tweak (such as including <machine/asnames.h> when last I
checked).
I believe the latest version of the new i386 loader is now functional
and can probably be expected to be loading ELF kernels any day now.
In the meantime, you could use
http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/btxboot-0.8.1.tar.gz
which will boot kernels in either format.
I believe there was also some modified-for-ELF standard boot code
posted to the lists around a month ago.
