Rob,
I use Leopard and VMWare to run Kubuntu (7.10), and have successfully
mounted an EXT2 SD card using a card reader I borrowed.
As far as making a cross compiler, I'm not exactly sure how it would
work in Leopard. I've gotten simple things like subversion to work in
Leopard, but the cross-compiler is above me. You might be lucky enough
to get it to work though. I'd use the VMWare image while you're
(presumably) using that to read the USB storage anyway. It's probably
easier to use something that people have done before, but I haven't
really looked for cross compiler information in XCode though either.
There might be stuff out there.
Good luck!
