It is possible to cross-compile Boa to run on almost any
machine.  All you need is a working cross-compiler, and
a POSIX/BSD-like operating system (like Linux).

I personally cross-compile Boa for a StrongARM running Linux.
It's not hard, at least no harder than cross-compiling any
other piece of user-space software.  It certainly helps to
know what you're doing.

Yes.

Yes.  Boa has never used Bison/yacc.  Older versions used flex/lex,
but that is gone in the 0.94 series.

Look in the help for configure.  You want something like

CC=mipsel-linux-gcc configure

There are a couple of rough spots to get through; I can't find my
notes at the moment.  Use google first.
