I messed around with this a few months ago.
Basically, Haiku uses the gnu utilities. So basically, anywhere:

  case "$CT_SYS_OS" in

was found, I just added '*Haiku*' to the or that Linux was in, and it
started to build.

It didn't take long for it to break somewhere else, and I figured
since the project is still alpha, I would give up until a release
happens before I try to get crosstool-ng working on it.

So in effect, this is totally possible, but I would suggest holding
out until they make a release.

My reasons for this stem from (only the open) bugs:
