Last time I tried, cross-building a NetBSD kernel using build.sh works from
linux, Darwin and Solaris. It should also work from windows with cygwin or
interix (but I've never tried those, staying away from windows as much as
I can :) So building a custom kernel shouldn't be much of a problem.
You don't need another NetBSD box, just another box :)
