NetBSD has done a good job at this. We should likely be careful to have a sys/sgimips and a sys/cpu/mips. The former should be sys/arch/mips, but we don't have arch/ in FreeBSD. We're going to have to be very careful about what we put in a generic 'mips' directory and what we put in a port specific directory (since for mips we're going to have to have multiple such directories, since it is kinda hard to support both endians with the same port).
