The simple approach worked, presumably because nothing in Tor Browser
except Firefox (and Tor, which I remove) is architecture-dependent. But
a little tweaking was required. I installed tor-browser_en-US from
tor-browser-linux32-4.5a4_en-US.tar.xz, and overwrote the Firefox folder
from the build. Because Tor is running on a gateway Pi, I also deleted
the Tor folder.
In order to have Tor Browser run without local tor process, I added two
lines to prefs.js in the profiles:
| user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup", false);
| user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.start_tor", false);
Once Tor Browser would run, I changed SocksPort to 192.168.2.1:9150 and
disabled the TorLauncher extension. All expected extensions are present.
Also, https://check.torproject.org reports that that the browser is
using Tor, and doesn't complain that it's not Tor Browser. All that's
left, I think, is to configure ControlPort 192.168.2.1:9051 and make
Torbutton happy.

I'll also look at the deterministic builds approach using Raspuntu.
