I installed/bootstrapped NetBSD pkgsrc on the linux box. This comes with
bmake(which I think standas for bsdmake).
But fails else where.

I don't know of any port of BSD make(1) to Linux, or if
that would be sufficient to cross-build FreeBSD. I'm
trying to build a snapshot of FreeBSD make(1) which builds
with autoconf, for other stuff, but it may take a while
before I have a fully autoconf-ified version and that may
still not be adequate.
You can always try booting a FreeBSD snapshot inside
vmware or qemu, and build FreeBSD from FreeBSD, but that
may be a bit slow...
