[George Shapovalov]

gcc is able to do cross-compilation.
Check your make.conf for CHOST, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, this should give you an 
idea how you can do this in gentoo:
You will probably want to
export CHOST=... export CFLAGS=... etc.
appropriate host and optimization flags. 
Then for an actual package do:
emerge --buildpkg package
This will build the package and put .tbz2 file under  $PKGDIR (check your 
conf!). But do test these builds on the proper system!
This has however a side-effect:
In addition to building the package it will merge it! Just unmerge it 
aftewards (.tbz2 is preserved). Alternatively you may do all steps manually 
avoiding merge (so the package only gets built and not installed, especially 
important if you already have such package installed on your sys) - check 
ebuild manual to see necessary steps.
