Hi Chris,

Are you talking about kernel and world, or ports? If kernel and world,
check out README in /usr/src, and Makefile, too, for details how to use
TARGET=3D on the command line (you can also set an environment variable),
and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX environment variable.

There are plenty of blogs and web-sites that cover cross compilation of
FreeBSD kernel and world, that you can refer to for pointers and examples.

Regards,

John
