Actually this is not true, if the required 32bit libraries are around it will work, both with a direct gmake call or from the ports tree. > In general, cross compiling > applications won't work on any released version of FreeBSD.

Umm... the difference never seemed very significant for me (note, I consider it significatn, just not VERY significant). I think it's just the pointer conversion vm code.
