Only if you unpack the contents of CDROM #2 from a -STABLE system
into a chroot environment.

Specifically, the compiler and FFS changes have added a number of
incompatabilities that are insurmountable for cross-building, from
my experience.

Check the -current mailing list archives, as it applies to being
able to cross-build versions of FreeBSD; this was covered in detail
last week (and about every two weeks, previous to that).
