There is some interest from FreeBSD folks to use qemu bsd-user mode in package
cross building. In fact, support was added recently to poudriere to used qemu
to cross build packages for armv6 and mips64 (see
https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/tktview/eb7afa654cec95e107905c64b78fb030abc1437b
for example). Sean Bruno added the missing bits to make mips32 work
correctly. Juergen Lock (nox@) has also contributed a lot of bug fixes and
maintains the FreeBSD port.
As for restructuring the (25,000+ lines of) patches Sean has agreed to help
with that given that I am busy with some other things at the moment.
