Yeah, I have the xdev stuff installed. It kinda seems like just using
this xdev stuff isn't sufficient. It seems u-boot might require some
gcc-centric items (though I'm unsure what they are).

I've been toying with that pretty much all evening. It seems that fbsd
has a really hard time booting on the rpi. I'm getting this error pretty
much 90% of the time when I try to boot:

I'll play around with things a bit more. I have a semi-functional system
now. I mainly want to be able to build my own images so I can publish
nightly builds of my ASLR work now that Oliver and I just added support
for [nearly all|all] architectures fbsd supports.
