Under d), I cross-build my FreeBSD/arm world and kernels on a fast = FreeBSD/amd64 system and then use the "packaged base" feature of FreeBSD = 11+ to make OS packages. I then update my FreeBSD/arm systems via "pkg = upgrade" which pulls from this repository on the FreeBSD/amd64 machine. This has appeared to work fine so far since I started doing it. See = this posting to freebsd-arm for details: = https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arm/2016-July/014444.html I think this approach should get more solid as the PkgBase effort gets = closer to official roll out. Cheers, Paul.
