At least CONFIG_{CFG80211,MAC80211}=m but you'll likely need to experiment.

Perhaps it isn't for the installation stuff, but I've had no problems
building the modules with a cross compiler. And you said you wanted to
customize installation anyway (just copy the built modules under 'kernel'
if that's what you want. It doesn't matter where they live as long as
depmod finds them;'updates' is nice for rollback, however.)
Here's my dumb cross compilation script, make-arm.sh:
#!/bin/bash
DIR=/home/bob/ext/linux-2.6
XGCC=/home/bob/projects/xgcc
export PATH="$XGCC/arm-2008q3/bin/:$PATH"
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- KLIB=$DIR KLIB_BUILD=$DIR "$@"

Perhaps try again? majordomo can be slow but two weeks slow sounds
off...
