Cross-building would seem to work just fine. What you are talking
about is making an ISO image of the product of that cross-building.
Please note also that pkgsrc is also cross-platform - the list of
supported platforms (to a greater or lesser degree) is:
AIX
BSDOS
Darwin
FreeBSD
IRIX
Interix
Linux
NetBSD
OpenBSD
SunOS
UnixWare
So please take Luke's advice and just install cdrecord on the host
OS for just now.
