Yes, cross-compilation of NSS is supported for Linux MIPS. The
procedure is tedious, requiring setting several makefile variables to
appropriate values, and is not documented on the NSS website.
The best source of information is the build scripts for the NSS
packages in Linux distributions such as Debian, Fedora, and Gentoo,
and a makefile in Firefox.
Here is the Firefox makefile that compiles NSS. Search for
"CROSS_COMPILE" in that makefile, and you will see which NSS makefile
variables need to be set:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/config/external/nss/Makefile.in#187
It may be worthwhile to cross-compile Firefox for MIPS and inspect the
build log file for the command line. I think that would be easier than
trying to parse that makefile.

Error code -5925 is PR_CALL_ONCE_ERROR:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/nspr/source/pr/include/prerr.h
That narrows down the failure to a small number of locations:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/nss/search?string=PR_CallOnce
Look at the PR_CallOnce calls in lib/freebl, especially
lib/freebl/loader.c. I suspect the dlopen() call of libfreebl3.so
failed because it could not find libfreebl3.so. I suggest you
investigate in that direction.
By the way, are you using a MIPS development board such as Creator
Ci20 that I can easily buy to reproduce your problem?
