Well, the pkgsrc system installs everything by
compiling from source.
You can also instal precompiled, binary packages:
pkg_add ftp://ftp.some.site/pub/some/dir/package.tgz
Dependencies will be pulled in automagically.
The base system can be cross compiled. On your latest off-topic 3 GHz
Opteron it will need less then a hour to run through a "./build.sh -X"
to produce a complete release. The faster if you have a multi core CPU
and you add "-j 4"... An on-topic 300 MHz UltraSPARC will need about
half a day.
Gnome on a VAX? Hell. I always thought that _I_ am a masochist? ;-)
