I'm not really sure what you mean by the "standard cross tool
chain".  If you mean stuff in pkgsrc/cross, then no, you don't
need to install that.  You pretty much only need to do the
following:

  # cd /usr/src
  # ./build.sh -m dreamcast tools
  # ./build.sh -m dreamcast kernel
  # ./build.sh -m dreamcast distribution

This works on NetBSD-CURRENT, but I'm pretty sure that it should
work just the same on NetBSD 1.6.1 as well.  These commands will
crossbuild the toolchain (including a cross compiler), your
kernel, and all of the userland.  I also have the following in my
/etc/mk.conf:

  OBJMACHINE=yes
  MKOBJDIRS=yes
  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj

which makes the build-process from above compile everything in
the /usr/obj tree.

You missed posting the errors you're got when trying to build
NetBSD :).
