You need a cross compile toolchain of course, look into how FreeBSD
is configured for the various arches.

Then I would suggest looking at the loaders, followed by 
kern/init_main.c.  If you trace down init_main.c and some
of the early sysinits that should give you an idea.

You might also be able to backtrack using CVS/svn to follow
how mips or arm was done.

Note: freebsd has a decent cross-compile setup now, see
"make universe" so things should be easier to get started.
