Yes, you are doing this the wrong way.  You need to use netbsd
cross-compilation facilities conveniently wrapped in the build.sh
script.  1.6.1 my have problems with cross building on FreeBSD, but in
-current support for cross-building on FreeBSD is much better.
Actually I use a fast FreeBSD machine as a build box to build worlds
for NetBSD/i386, /sparc, /netwinder (arm) and /hpcsh (sh3).

Read the file BUILDING located in the root of the source tree.
