no, the initrd is generic, there are no board or kernel specific bits in
it. i'm pretty sure paolo uses some RPi specific upstream tree for this
binary package though, it is most likely not any mainline tree. 
fakeroot simply fakes the root user for dpkg builds, it shouldn't make
anything slower. you indeed don't need to build the complete deb package
but you need "fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs" to get the
merged .config to base on (alternatively you can just unpack the binary
deb and extract the config from there). beyond this you should just be
able to set CROSS_COMPILE and run make in the unpacked source deb like
in any other tree.
