No, you don't need the cross compiler package, just the -current source and a
1.5.x NetBSD host (you may also be able to cross compile from
Linux/FreeBSD/other Unix). In fact, the cross compiler package no longer
works due to some changes in headers on arm26 vs other ports. Once you have
this, read BUILDING in the top level -current source directory, and you can
use build.sh to do the actual compile (if you know what you're doing, you can
do everything by hand, but using build.sh simplifies things a lot).

Take a look at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/ and
diskless(8) (you can get at the man pages from the web if you don't have a
NetBSD machine)
