I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but if you
download the source tree (not sure which part, I always get the entire
thing), you can then do this:

mkdir /usr/obj-mips
mkdir /usr/tools-mips
cd /usr/src
./build.sh -m <some architecture which matches yours> -T
/usr/tools-mips -O /usr/obj-mips tools

I use -m cobalt and -m hpcmips for the particular machines I have.

All the toolchain will be in the /usr/tools-mips/bin directory.

This is a cross compile, so you can do it from any machine. The -m
flag is what does the cross compile. It should work from any well set
up unix machine, but I've only used NetBSD.
