it's possible, but not IMHO the optimal solution. The Debian build
machanics work less reliable in a cross-build environment (think:
automatic library dependencies, etc), so AFAIK it is only used for
packages that have few dependencies, and are a bear to build natively
(e.g. libc).

An alternative that definitely involve some fiddling is to try if
plex86 <URL:http://www.plex86.org/> is up to the task. It can
reportedly boot the Hurd, and if it already has networking support,
you could offer access to a virtual Hurd box.
