I don't know how far Ubuntu got, but I think that cross compiling most likely is not in a useable state yet. For some stuff like kernels, cross compiling works, but I assume that a lot of packages will not be able to cross compile. There are various reasons for that:

* Running built tests during the package build process
* Not prepared for different host and build architectures
* Build-time dependencies not multi-arch ready

You can use virtualized build systems, running on qemu, to build whatever packages you need (and I'm pretty sure the Kubuntu developers can also get access to the Launchpad armhf build farm for testing).
