How about not using a chrooted environment, but a whole virtual  
machine? You can build the TinyBSD host exactly like you need the  
binaries on your target and then extract the essentials for the boot  
image. Works like a charme here, speeds up debugging a lot and raises  
the question why support for ports was added at all.
