In the case of NetBSD, I would want to build the kernel and base system not including X.

Then I would install pkgsrc and build Xorg from that.

There is a NetBSD Guide online that tells how to do those things, question being whether it would work from FreeBSD.

Getting a productive NetBSD system on my hardware is already a long shot, no USB 3.0 support among other things.

For Linux, I would want to build kernel plus tools to get to a bootable minimal system, then go from there Linux-native.  
I would want a package manager such as pacman or Conary for Linux rather than build packages one at a time and have to keep track of dependencies.
