Hi

Just doing it the slow way on the RPi itself, but the most promising 
solution to me seems the poudriere

https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/doc/trunk/doc/index.wiki

solution, which allows for maintaining the ports tree and bulk building 
packages for different architectures on the host and then using 
portmaster on the RPi. I'll have to dive into this shortly, because 
bringing up twisted on the RPi or BeagleBone is taking almost 24 hours
