Assuming there is build hardware available, yes.

I'm the only person working on this; currently "get freebsd update building
running for non-i386" is stalled waiting for "rewrite freebsd update building
code to remove the ugly hacks needed for pre-6.0", which is stalled waiting
both for me to have more free time and for some new hardware to become available
(I hear that it's on the way).

I was expecting to get some work done on this over the summer, but I ended up
spending most of that time working on portsnap instead.
