I like your overlay install idea that you mentioned a while back.  If
I remember correctly, it some something like we install ourselves into
/FreeBSD on the normal MacOSX partition, and we automatically prepend
/FreeBSD to any name lookups just like the linuxulater prepends
/compat/linux.   Or maybe just chroot ourselves into /FreeBSD.

But that depends on having HFS in the base system.  Which might be a
good idea..
