This didn't feel appropriate for "embedded" because the loongson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson) (MIPS-architecture based) processor (developed in china) is a laptop and perhaps desktop processor.
I guess what I'm wondering is: how well might FreeBSD work on something like the Lemote Yeelong (www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html)? The MIPS port is still referred to in the FAQ as "unfinished", though I suppose my question is - how unfinished?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture ->
Operating systems ported to the architecture include SGI's IRIX, Microsoft's Windows NT (until v4.0), Windows CE, Linux, BSD, UNIX System V, SINIX and MIPS Computer Systems' own RISC/os.
Developers of this port should be able to answer questions. I doubt they're on here ...

Try search the FreeBSD Wiki for "mips":

I'm pretty sure OpenBSD runs on the Lemote Yeelong since Wim sells them at kd85.com

Hello,
Look at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mips/2010-September/author.html for the patches sent by Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko.
IIRC, it was done as part of the last google's SoC.
I think it still pending on the review list's of developers.
Good luck !
