If you aren't cross compiling, you could start a chroot using an
appropriate stage for your target architecture.  Then once you had the
appropriate toolchain set up in that chroot you could install packages
in that chroot, build them there and merge them to a different ROOT, or
even just build binary packages.  I don't think crossdev is necessary at
all for what you're trying to do.
