Is it possible. You need to set BINOWN, BINGRP, LIBOWN, etc to be your
uid and gid (look at bmake's bsd.own.mk). I think you can get away with
setting these in your shell environment. There are three lines=20
preventing in the bootstrap script that stop it from being used as=20
non-root -- these can be commented out.

I did something similar when looking at OpenBSD support on a machine I
didn't have root on.

best wishes,
