Update 2014-01-15
Well, the wait has an end! Official nightlies are out! That means I'm off the hook for building!
I'd like to thank everybody who participated by flashing, and posting in this thread. I really had a great time building CM11 for this device! Obviously, the CM team deserves the credit, they were the ones who gave us this awesome ROM!
Official CM11 nightlies can be downloaded here:
N9005
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltexx
To flash the 2014-01-15 nightly on the N9005, you must first remove a device check for hltexx in the update script. You can do this by opening up the .zip, editing the updater-script located under /META-INF/com/google/android/, and removing the assert(...) line at the top.
Other Versions:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltetmo (t-mobile)
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltespr (sprint)
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltevzw (verizon)
Happy Flashing!!

Update 2013-12-31:
Just uploaded a new build!
Noticeably, calling now works (both making/receiving)! No word on bt calling, that has yet to be confirmed.
So now it's time to list things that are *not* working rather than things that are working!
NFC --> Could anyone make a statement on that?

Enjoy it guys!
A big thank you to the CM team for working out all the major bugs within a few days really, and of course everyone who has contributed by commiting patches, testing, discussing, etc!
I'm not sure I'll do more builds today, as I have a few errands to run before the new years celebration! A celebration it will be indeed with CM on our notes!

Update 2013-12-29:
Just uploaded a new build! It's running better than the first one. Noticeably, the following things have changed:
- Camera works now (FC before)
- Gallery works (FC before)
- Data (3g/4g) works
- Audio works (speakers and headphones, but very quiet.)
- Calls are not working. You can call the phone, but it wont ring on the receiving side.
- External SD is not mounting. (This issue has been reported by the tmo guys already)

Good news!
I got it built, and it boots to launcher (confirmed on my n9005)! I'm only sharing this for the many flash happy out there waiting to see what cm11 feels like. The build is not a daily driver.
Sources
This is based on the official cm repos:
Issues:
- Camera FC
- Gallery FC
- No Data / GSM
- Probably alot more
- Model no shows up as n9000 (I flashed on n9005)
Installation:
1. Download the zip
2. Wipe and flash via recovery, (I used chenglu cwm)
The first two boots took forever (10 minutes?) now it boots relatively quickly.

The Future
I'm on leave for a couple of days, so if testers want to attach logcats ill take a look at what i can fix.
I guess I'll sync and build daily for the next couple of days, or until a more experienced developer comes along and builds CM11
