Most of the logic is in the gdb stub, which lives in the kernel. You don't have to use -k to be able to remote debug the kernel. It may have to be a cross-debugger (host=*-*-linux*, target=*-*-freebsd*). In principle it should not be necessary, provided the host and target architectures are the same. In short: try it. chances are it works. If not, try with a cross-gdb.
