I'm a Bitrig [0] user and have been slowly patching up gitian-builder so that it knows how to create build VM's other than ubuntu [1]. I haven't pushed all of my patches yet, but I have a version of gitian-builder where make-base-vm understands "--os bitrig --iso cd10.iso" and it auto-installs Bitrig into a VM. My goal is to build Bitrig deterministically using gitian and I'm getting pretty close to at least doing builds. I'm not sure about the other roadblocks yet (e.g. timestamps, etc).
I think my effort to add gitian support other OS's for build VM's would enable building the TBB using the target OS rather than cross-compiling from ubuntu. The only downside I can see is the increase in work trying to keep TBB building on all of these other platforms. I envision that the *BSD port maintainers would maintain the deterministic port and would multi-sig the output.

Has anyone looked into this? I talked to the maintainer of the OpenBSD Firefox port, but he wasn't very interested and pointed out the difficulty caused by the deterministic build system.
I can verify that it doesn't work out of the box, but haven't had time to play with it much more than that. I think that the Tor Browser is an increasingly important tool, and that it's a problem that it isn't available on the BSDs.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
