Somewhat of a duplicate question, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/693952/how-to-compile-for-os-x-in-linux-or-windows.

For what it's worth, cross-compiling is usually not worth the hassle; in almost all cases, your best bet is a setup using a virtual machine, since you need a way to test the resulting binaries anyways.
