That's dated information (getting close to 10 years old, I guess). Except for one exception due to a gcc bug, all ports of NetBSD 1.6 were cross-compiled on a beefy x86 box running NetBSD. That cross-compilation mechanism has been known to work on a handful of other platforms, including FreeBSD, some versions of Linux, Solaris, and maybe even cygwin. It bootstraps itself, building the necessary host tools first, then building the system. For kernel stuff, you can just build the tools separately and use them by hand.
