I'm sure there are many other solutions, but what has worked best for me
so far is qemubuilder. It runs a complete debian armel system in qemu
and compiles your package there. Once you have a dsc file for your
software, it's as simple as running

  $ qemubuilder --build yourpackage.dsc

Hope this helps.
