At the current time, no.  gcc 2.8.1 out of the box is broken on NetBSD.

However, there should be an appropriate "cross-netbsd-i386" pkg that
incorporates a gcc 2.8.x based compiler (egcs) for your use within 2 weeks.
I have a partly working setup that needs testing first, and I can't test it
until Monday.

You can grab egcs 1.1 from http://egcs.cygnus.com/ if you wish; it needs a
total of one fix to get running on NetBSD 1.3.2/i386.  Edit
egcs-1.1/gcc/config/i386/netbsd.h and change

#undef DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO

to

#define DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO 0

near the bottom of the file.
