Indeed there is. Binutils is still a work in progress (ld is the final
missing component if I remember correctly), but gcc supports it just
fine. As a replacement for binutils you use odcctools, which is some
kind of fork.

Just grab the SDK out of xcode (probably need a mac for that) and set
up things as you would any other cross compiler. Note that OS X SDK
10.5+ requires ObjectiveC 2.0, which in turn means gcc 4.6. We're using
the 10.4 SDK and gcc 4.5 here though.

Well, I have two Macs already, and one is my primary machine, so I have
no practical need for such a setup, but it's interesting that someone
has done it.  I generally just take the approach of using virtual
machines rather than cross-compiling.
