Hi TomGee ( another Googler... gee, Sci.Physics is full of them ),
Re: Ideal back holes being the objects with the least entropy
in the infinitely distant frame, and the objects with the most entropy
when only local frames are considered,

You told me: <<
  If you mean that the rate of entropy depends on which frame is involved,
  I would have to agree since
  the passage of time varies with the state of motion of a reference frame,
  discrete objects, and bound systems. >>
  
No, take two objects, one hot and the other cold,
now combine them so that they both attain the same temperature, warm.
Useful work was released in the process,
and it would take work ( virtual-negative work ) to reverse the process.

Because of that, it's said that the initial state has less entropy
than the final state.

At the center of a supernova-cum-black-hole,
the entropy is effectively zero.

That process, by the way, takes more time than our universe actually has.
Hence, it makes no sense to talk about, or model, event horizons.

>From our, human, frame of reference, the black hole evaporates
before it actually forms
...in a mere 10 ^ 99 billion years, for some supermassive black holes.
