Its not explicitly listed, but the section titled "To cross-install
current onto a separate partition" can be abused to good effect.

The other option is to mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from your build system
onto the target and run the installworld from there. I suspect you're
about to point out that certain dependencies may not have been built
correctly if the target is much older than the source, so YMMV.
