If you're asking whether crossn, as a single function which handles arbitrarily many arguments, can be defined, the short answer is "no". I dare you to come up with a case in which such function adds more than cursory convenience.
The following post:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/182797
shows at least one person that would find it useful, at least in c++. Of course maybe it would be less useful in haskell.
And having genericCross xs1 xs2 being able to be [(x,y) | x <- xs1, y <- xs2] \xs3 -> cross3 xs1 xs2 xs3 \xs3 xs4 -> cross4 xs1 xs2 xs3 xs4 ... would open up the possibility for a great number of bugs, I believe.
