Considering the price of an intel system, you should just purchase one
and develope on it.  The time and effort required to build such a
cross compiling system just doesn't seem like the best allocation
of resources.

Depending on what you need the system can be priced at less than $1,000.

Most Dell/Gateway desktops can be easily used for FreeBSD.

Oh, and if you plan on selling any PA-8000 based HP machines, please 
drop me an email. :)

thanks,
