I didn't think neil@netbsd.org worked ;-)

There are quite a few people successfully cross-compiling using a
crossed build of the standard NetBSD gcc distribution on
cross-architectures such as i386. This will work fine for the kernel,
except you'll want to 'hack around' the genassym/makemodes stuff (nuke
the latter for non-RiscPC).

I just build natively though. Not thinking straight right now having
spent 14 hours on an aircraft last night...
