Yes, with NetBSD-current, cross-building kernel for different platform
is as simple as

	# cd /data/current
	# ./build.sh -m hpcarm -D /data/build -M /datc/obj -u tools kernel=IPAQ

The build.sh script handles all the necessary tasks. For Xscale 80321, you'll
probably need evbarm instead of hpcarm, as well as specifying other kernel
configuration then IPAQ.

IIRC there was an article at daemonnews.org recently on this topic.
