There is no repository with the changes in it yet but have a look at
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/2007-February/002102.html.
It contains the patch I have used to boot FreeBSD on an EFIKA. The only
other change is to comment out the FIRMWORKSBUGS ifdef and endif after
__start in locore.S.

To build the cross compiler you just need to run "make kernel-toolchain
TARGET=powerpc". There is no need to install anything from ports.
Currently FreeBSD doesn't get to single user mode on an EFIKA so there
is no need to build anything other than the kernel and loader.
