just an idea:
What one could do, is building some sort of target-Filesystem and do a chroot into that system. Then the compiler has to be changed to your cross-compile-toolchain and some of the flags in make.conf have to be changed. After that, a simple emerge in the chrooted environmen should create all the needed stuff and cross-compile it for the specified architecture.

I will give it a try during the next weeks. It should work, but the correct values in make.conf and some of the includes and so on might be very hard to find out. At least, it will take a lot of time for testing and trying. But imho it should work. If someone manages to get this work, he/she might tell this list, as I guess, there are a bunch of people, who are interested in such things. (at least I am one of those *bg*)
