Unlikely, but possible.  The last time I checked, cross-compilation
was only support on NetBSD, from one architecture to another.  I've
successfully cross-built the system for hpcmips from an i386 machine.

If you feel motivated, go ahead and try.  If you have any success, it
could be a big win for everybody, if you can submit patches that would
allow other people to do that.

You might also want to write to current-users@netbsd.org to ask what
the likelihood of success is.  Folks who read that list are more
likely to know.
