You should be able to run debootstrap or multistrap against
debian-ports.org armhf port (but better use a mirror as master is
quite slow).

Sorry, debian-ports.org have some mx5 and omap kernel packages for armhf.

I also have some kernel packages for testing at:
 <http://people.debian.org/~zumbi/linux-2.6/>
  ../linux-image-3.1.0-rc3-mx5_3.1.0-rc3-mx5-7_armel.deb should be
running on mx53/mx51/mx50 after doing mkimage, but it is very
experimental, it got SATA patches for mx53, but USB does not work on
mx53.

debian-installer for armhf can be found
 <http://people.debian.org/~zumbi/di-armhf/>

With little fiddling, you can install your kernel packages in
/mnt/target directory.
