Yes, the underlying tools would support to build a different target "armv6l" 
and even "armv5tel" would be possible with the tools (albeit not visible).
BUT you have a chicken-egg problem here (bootstrap). There is no
prebuilt toolchain to build for armv6l available atm. So AFAIK you cannot 
build a platform image for armv6l . Instead you use the prebuilt packages
and these are armv7l (aka armel and not armhf).
