Unless you have a way in through serial ports you do have to be up in multi-user mode to be able to get into the machine via a network - unless someone has some magic commands that I'm not aware of. I do the above - and since they are remoted machines - I do them in step - and run the commands with a command like nohup make buildworld & Then I log out. I check later and look at the nohup.out and if it's ok go to the next step. I only do the make installworld if the kernel reboot into multi-user mode fails - and it has never failed so far.
