See ftp://puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us/pub/NetBSD/contrib/cross-compiling/
stuff. There's a README, and a tgz file.

With an X-compiling environment, you should be able to make all of the
netbsd programs. The Readme says that kernel compiles don't work yet
as config hasn't been ported. But if that's the only problem, for
GENERIC kernels, someone could just config GENERIC on a running
system (when they didn't already have a configed GENERIC), and just
tar up the compile/GENERIC directory. Though a ported config would be
best. :-)

Good luck. It's great for people to be getting involved. The more people we
have, the more quickly we will get stuff done. :-)

Take care,
