You can boot LFS, and > build any extra packages you need right from the LFS system. However, unless you make notes or print it out or have another system, you need something to read BLFS with, at least. I usually build wget and lynx on the chrooted LFS, so that I can (a) use wget to get sources, and (b) use lynx to read BLFS (I know that lynx can download thanks). Then, for a workstation, I build (on the booted system) in this order to get xorg up and running: expat, freetype, fontconfig, libpng, xorg. After that I go for firefox, to read BLFS as rendered as intended, with: pkg-config,cairo,glib2,pango,atk,libjpeg,libtiff,libIDL,zip,firefox. I have that much scripted now. If I was building a server (without X11) I'd do it completely differently though: make a list of the services and their dependecies and build those.
