It's ususally not a problem doing a chroot debian on debian using
debootstrap. The issues that you need to be aware of are to mount
/proc and any needed fs in the chroot, and that listening network
sockets can collide (you can't run sshd booth in the normal / and
in the chroot unless you use separet port numbers).

Can't you use a parallell port?

Don't linuxcnc use rtai (https://www.rtai.org/) ?

talks about linuxcnc on debian wheezy, perhaps it can be of help.
