  This has come up a few times with various folk (Kip Macy ?) saying 
that it didn't take long to pull across the NetBSD changes that do this.

  I believe the sysutils/makefs port can handle cross-endian builds.

  If you can get away with a read-only root, mkisofs can do the job and 
FreeBSD can deal with an isofs root mount.

later,

Peter.
