PF did not hear ATC to 'hold' at runway 13/31, PNF states that ATC instructed aircraft Y to hold, but did not warn PF to hold. When PF approached runway 13/31 to cross ATC controller was working ground and tower frequencies. ATC was landing aircraft on runway 09, runway 13 and ctlring taxiing aircraft to and from each runway. No runway signs were lighted to 'mark' the intersect of runway 13/31 at C. PF and PNF did not know that aircraft Y had crossed runway 13/31 until aircraft landed behind aircraft Y's crossing runway 13/31. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter was PIC of a LJ24, under ownership of a private operator. The PIC stated the biggest problem was the breakdown in crew coordination. Other distrs were multiple xmissions to aircraft not on their frequency and not being familiar with the airport.
