Have a look at

I hope you'll find help.  With a help of pkgtools/distbb you can build
cross bulk builds where build host dependencies are built and installed
automatically. In addition to normal bulk build setup you have to do the
following:
 - aplly patch from here
  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2011/11/19/msg008003.html
 - build cross toolchain
 - prepare mk.conf for target architecture.
 - set TARGET_PACKAGES, TARGET_MAKECONF variables in distbb.conf
