If you download the src tree, or src and xsrc trees, for NetBSD, there are directions of how to cross-compile NetBSD from other (quasi-)Unixes.
NetBSD now uses cvs but has been moving slowly to switch to mercurial (hg) for downloading src, xsrc and pkgsrc trees.
NetBSD has tools and documentation on how to cross-compile NetBSD userland and kernel.
There is a build.sh in the src directory that is recommended instead of using make directly.
FreeBSD has not developed this infrastructure for cross-compiling, though there has been some talk about producing such an infrastructure.
My question would be the other way around, how to cross-compile Linux from FreeBSD or NetBSD.
This would not be a full-fledged Ubuntu or other fancy distro, but more comparable to FreeBSD or NetBSD base system.
