probably depends on what you mean by "support."

I've definitely used (self-built) cross-tools on my NetBSD/i386 laptop
to build e.g. NetBSD/alpha kernels in the past.  I seem to recall that
i had to tweak one or two uses of strtoul() i think it was, but other
than that it produced working results.
