Install your package management tools into your chroot (and make them work
using your ldd advice above). And then use pkg_add, rpm, dpkg, whatever,
to install your needed tools and dependencies, etc.

Your chroot will need access to the pre-built packages.

I use a chroot environment to build Linux packages for my custom distro.
Sometimes, I also use chroot environments for doing package builds for
DragonFly.

With the BSDs it is very easy: build your base system and then for the
install just define your destination, for example on FreeBSD: "make
installworld DESTDIR=/my/new/location" but that is another story :)
