Right, you should be able to do it from either of those,

I would use a PREFIX other than /usr/local (or something
different than whatever your actual PREFIX is) for the
builds.
I was looking around for my notes but can't find them.
If I do find them, I'll post them.
I've built an i386 jail and am currently building the
gnat-gcc43 port to compile a GNAT cross-compiler (i386 ->
amd64).
There are two reasons for this whole exercise: I just moved
over to amd64 and want a native toolchain and I also have a
lot of software written in Ada that I'd like to submit to
FreeBSD ports but can't due a lack of an Ada compiler on amd64.
I noticed that the gnat-gcc43 port downloads a rather
anonymous set of gcc 4.1 bootstrap binaries. I assume I'd
have to provide my own in the same manner to create a port?
Yes, you can look at my lang/gnat port to find its
bootstrap compiler. I would recommend making a binary
bootstrap compiler on the earliest version of FreeBSD
amd64 as you can. If you use 8.0-current for instance,
others will not be able to build the port on 7.x.
