No. obj is for .o files and similar stuff, the actual userland you're 
building will show up in whatever dir you passed as destination using 
- -D

Yes, but I usually prefer building tarballs ( build.sh sets, they'll 
show up in whatever you passed as release dir -R ) - tar xpzf base.tgz 
etc., then run 'postinstall fix' to get rid of obsolete files an such ( 
make sure /usr.src points at your sources or postinstall won't work )
With tarballs you can build everything on FreeBSD and just unpack on 
the Mac.

Eh, it's a bit hard to grasp first, I had my own troubles with it years 
ago. Don't feel bad about that, everyone's been there. The main 
advantage is that we can cross-build everything anywhere and the build 
host doesn't even have to run NetBSD, just some halfway modern not too 
weird UNIXish OS.

Build tarballs, unpack them on the mac, run postinstall fix.

have fun
