I typically use:

setenv CVSROOT foo
time make -DNOPORTS -DNODOC -DMAKE_ISOS release CHROOTDIR=/usr/release 
EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src > & /tmp/release.out

This presumes you've already done a buildworld in /usr/src; it will also 
use that version of the source code, rather than pulling everything down 
from the CVS server.  Because of the way the release process uses a 
chroot environment, it's still going to have to re-build everything. So, 
it's quite a time-intensive operation no matter how many shortcuts you take.
