It's not easy to do.
Saying all it needs is a bootstrap compiler is misleading -- FPC has to
support DragonFly.  Getting FreeBSD to cross-compile to DragonFly is not
very hard, but the support has to be there first.

I tried to do this a few month ago.  I got about 80% done but I lost the
work.  I'd have to start again from zero.  My version failed during
cross-compiling.  If you are asking somebody else to do this, you are
asking quite a lot.
