This is exactly what openembedded has been designed to do and what  
Angstrom (the distribution openmoko uses) has been doing for years.  
Have a look at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/? 
pkgname=fennec and you'll see that packages are available for ARM  
architectures ranging from strongarm to the latest cortex-a8.
