You should install both and use them for different purposes:

Crochet uses the ‘xdev’ tools *only* for compiling the U-Boot boot
loader.  (It does *not* use it for building kernel and world.  The
standard FreeBSD build infrastructure automatically builds appropriate
cross-compilers as needed for kernel and world.)
