The Contributor's Guide for XFree86 on Cygwin has step-by-step instructions for setting up a cross-compile environment. None of the steps are really Cygwin-specific, so it should be able to get you going.
Here is a link to the relevant section: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-build-cross.html
Let me know if this helps. I could probably also help with any questions you have (on-list of course).

Hi,
I need to do a cross-compile of XFree86 and need a jump start to either docs detailing how to configure correctly to do so, or some pointers on how the .cf files are correctly used.
I've read the BUILD document, xf86site.def, site.def, cross.def, etc. but it is not clear how to actually set things up to do the cross-compile. I've edited cross.def to point to the cross-compile tools, headers, libs, etc. I've changed site.def so that CrossCompile is defined. I have the cross-compile environment building the Linux kernel and base system with no problems, but I need to create an XFree86 implementation for the target platform.
Now what I'm ferreting out is where in the Xfree86 build process I set the cpu type so that the compiler will pick it up. Also, any other tips or suggestions that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.
This is a build for the AMD Alchemy MIPS32 CPU core.
If there is a document that I've missed somewhere that clearly addresses how to do the cross-compile builds then just point me in that direction.
Thanks, Burt
