FreeBSD inside a VM on the mac is a bit of a pita to get all the file
sharing stuff right. the pita is on the mac side, for the most part,
but smbfs on FreeBSD is so slow that it isn't useful for anything but
the most trivial of file sharing.
Requiring a VM to build freebsd on a foreign host is a good stop-gap,
but not a good long term plan.
