I've not built a custom u-boot for my boards yet.  Too scared of
making them into bricks, so I'm stuck with the SDK 1.1.1 u-boot that
was on the boards when shipped.

However, the good news is that this version of u-boot will boot
FreeBSD kernel.  There's no support in this version of u-boot for
/boot/loader, however.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for...
