Works for me -- I build stuff on one of the Intellistations, and after
it's back up & running, I'll export its /usr, then mount its
/usr/{obj,src} on the corresponding mount points on another box (another
Intellistation, a non-name PC, or one of the laptops, for example) and
then do the "make installkernel", "make installworld", & "mergemaster" on
the target machine.
I make sure that /etc/make.conf is compatible first (usually, a copy),
and I build several kernels on the Intellistation -- one for each
different kernel config I intend to install on a machine.

Sounds as if you did *some*thing odd, but I can't tell what. The NFS
mounting has worked for me.
Cheers,
