Yes.

First I installed debian for the O2, then I replaced the kernel with a
cross built 2.4.23 and 2.4.25 built on my x86_64-pc-linux system. Both
2.4.23 and 2.4.25 boot with no problem for me.

R5000
The r10000 is not well supported. Messages posted to linux-mips.org
indicated that the r10000 problems are being worked on.

I don't use cross tool.
Follow the instructions for cross linux-from-scratch for mips64 except
don't apply any of the patches as current binutils and GCC don't require
them.
