I was blissfully optimistic: to do that, we first need to run
‘cuirass-remote-worker’ in the childhurds (which are cross-compiled).
Alas Cuirass depends on Fibers, which is currently Linux-only¹, so we
cannot {cross-,}build it for GNU/Hurd. The good news is that
‘remote-worker.scm’ itself doesn’t seem to use Fibers. So I wonder if
we could arrange to build a stripped-down package that contains nothing
but ‘cuirass-remote-worker’. WDYT?
Cuirass also depends on Avahi, which is currently not buildable for
GNU/Hurd due to libcap requiring on Linux-specific headers, and it seems
to be a hard requirement². Unfortunately ‘remote-worker.scm’ requires
it.
Thoughts?

¹ There’s preliminary work to address that:

² AFAICS Debian doesn’t have it on GNU/Hurd either:
<https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libcap2>
