You could try installing packages starting with cygwin32:

cygwin32
cygwin32-binutils
cygwin32-binutils-debuginfo
cygwin32-default-manifest
cygwin32-gcc-ada
cygwin32-gcc-cilkplus
cygwin32-gcc-core
cygwin32-gcc-debuginfo
cygwin32-gcc-fortran
cygwin32-gcc-g++
cygwin32-gcc-objc
cygwin32-gcc-objc++
cygwin32-gettext
cygwin32-libbfd
cygwin32-libiconv
cygwin32-libtool
cygwin32-minizip
cygwin32-w32api-headers
cygwin32-w32api-runtime
cygwin32-zlib

download Cygwin sources and add to top of cygport, or do the equivalent of:

CROSS_HOST=i686-pc-cygwin
inherit cross

and try running cygport to see what happens.
