I think the short answer is no. I have some source files in a package which are built by running a C program, which would be a use case for $HOSTCC-type functionality. I use a cross-compiling AM_CONDITIONAL to disable the rules for updating those generated sources, and I distribute them. The result is changes to the sources of the generated sources must be built in a non-cross-compile environment, then the up-to-date generated sources can be transported (such as via make dist, or committing to SCM) to the cross-build environment.
