Nah, cross-building on a non-FreeBSD platform (even another *BSD platform) is a bit of a nightmare due to slight differences in make syntax, utility params etc. You also need a x-compiler built for FreeBSD to get the correct in-built definitions. NetBSD is certainly much better at this: they seem to be able to cross-build on anything vaguely resembling Unix. later, Peter.
