So I hand-patched tftp.c with the 4 lines of changes described by http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36755.

No change - still getting a timeout. May be that earlier patches contribute towards resolving this?

FreeBSD 9.1 won't let me install bzr, so I'm stuck for now. Time for a weekend.

Thanks all for sharing your knowledge,

Anyway, all that leads me to my current (possibly overkill) usage:
* grub-mkimage --format=i386-pc-pxe --output=grub.pxe --prefix='/grub' boot
priority_queue datetime bufio net tftp pxe

and I do get further.  Thank you.

Alas, not all is well.  I now get "error:  timeout reading
'/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod'".

Sigh.
The timeout is due to http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?36755 , fixed in
bzr trunk in revision 4548. This problem needs to be better
documented, a point release of grub 2.00 made with this (and probably
other) fixes, or both. Also, it's easier and more dependable to use
grub-mknetdir rather than using grub-mkimage directly.
