Not to my knowledge but then again I have never tried.

Sorry I do not have more information but I would suggest building this on
FreeBSD first.

It holds the e300 powerPC processor.


Hi again,

I have linux up and runnign on that board, can I cross-build pfsense 
from Linux ?

Zied.

Oops, pressed send too soon.   I am unsure of this boards FreeBSD 
status but to get to the 300+ hour mark that assumes that this port 
has already been done in FreeBSD.

It's already done
and
there's at least one commercial port to this board at 
http://www.semihalf.com


I'm getting excited about that

anywhere to host sources, files .. images, hopefully one day :)

Nice board

am I getting into a very large deep desert ?


Doing these ports is quite fun because you end up needing to compile 
the entire pfSense distribution on the board itself until the FreeBSD 
ports system has cross-build support (which as of right now it does not).


So with that said what you are undertaking is not terribly difficult 
but more or less is a time sucking leach.


If you are willing to spend 300+ hours on such a project I will help 
however I can.

Yes I will, I won't be alone, two guys already volunteered :)
and thank you


Scott
