After looking at some existing Imafiles, it doesn't look like the
existing cross-compiling code supports building the fonts. There's no
visible code to build bdftopcf as a host tool for example. And the 2
systems configs (itsy.cf and iPAQ.cf) that set CrossCompiling to YES,
also set BuildFonts to NO.

Imake itself get built as a host tool during bootstrap, but not target
version is built or installed afaict.
Of course someone who actually uses the cross-compile support and
knowns better can always correct me if I'm wrong here.
In order to avoid such problems more easily in the future, I suggest
that for XFree86 5.0 we isolate the build of host tools in a separate
phase of the global process (bootstrap imake / Makefiles /
host-{includes,depend,all} / includes / depend / all / install).
