Booting FreeBSD out of redboot should be no problem. I have used the
redboot loader on a Intel NAS to load a FreeBSD kernel and boot
successfully, this was an arm core rather than mips however.
If you have a working redboot you can also use the redboot shell to
flash your kernel (with embedded MFS image) into the SPI part and then
rewrite the load script to boot that.
The debian-installer armel handbook had some useful docs in it for the
platform I was working on, as well as the official redboot site.

Hi everyone,
I've just pushed the initial support for the AR9100 wireless MAC into
my git repository. This is for the WMAC on the AR9132 SoC.
I've tested it in 11bg hostap mode on an AP83 derived box - the
TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. The source tree has support for the CPU, ethernet
(but not the switch PHY; it's enough to get data across it!); flash
and the AR9100 WMAC.
I've only tested "open" hostap mode on 11bg on a fixed channel.
The GIT repo is at:
http://www.gitorious.org/~adrianchadd/freebsd/adrianchadd-freebsd ;
it's the "work/atheros" branch. You'll need to open the unit up,
solder on some pins to get to the serial port and acquire a TTL ->
RS232 level converter. There's pictures and howto on the OpenWRT wiki:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd
That sounds really nice! Is there some guide on how to prepare an image?
I'm quite familiar with OpenWrt (patching and building) and have a number
of routers (WRT-160N, WR941NL, 500gP) with serial adapters attached, but
from the messages on the mips list, it felt the bootstrapping process might
be a bit dauting...
