Hi all,
So I was able to boot my soekris machine on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. The two
key points were to setup the console to be at 9600 baud and use the 486
kernel instead of the stock 686 kernel, which doesn't boot:

So I removed the stock kernel and installed kfreebsd-image-7-486, then
setup the serial console in /etc/grub.d/40_custom:
menuentry "Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, with kFreeBSD 7.2-1-486" {
insmod ufs2
insmod bsd
set root=(hd0,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4b81dce84e75710d
echo Loading kernel of FreeBSD 7.2-1-486 ...
kfreebsd /boot/kfreebsd-7.2-1-486.gz -D -h
kfreebsd_module_elf /lib/modules/7.2-1-486/acpi.ko
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1
set kFreeBSD.vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
}
Then set that kernel to be the default one:
GRUB_DEFAULT=1
in /etc/default/grub.
Then I can connect to the serial console using a command like:
cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600
and victory is mine!
