Yes, definitely. Building FreeBSD on other platforms is one of the requests we get very often from embedded systems vendors. Cheap virtualisation has made it less urgent (they can just stick a FreeBSD VirtualBox VM on their workstations), but it's definitely something we'd like eventually. To my knowledge, no one is working on it, but we should aim to make life easy for whoever does...
