Right now, I believe the only way to do this is to build a release of
FreeBSD (you must first have done a 'make world'). Part of the process
of building the release will create a new .../stand/ directory for you,
and you could then copy the contents of that directory into /stand/.
A cursory glance at /usr/src/release/Makefile shows
# How to roll a release:
#
# make release CHROOTDIR=/some/dir BUILDNAME=somename [ RELEASETAG=tag ]
#
# Where "/some/dir" is the pathname of a directory on a some
# filesystem with at least 600MB of free space, "somename" is what
# you want the release to call itself and, optionally, which CVS "tag"
# name should be used when checking out the sources to build the release
# (default is HEAD).
#
# Please note: the vn driver must also be compiled into your kernel,
# otherwise the target 'release.8' and possibly others will fail.
I didn't go any further, because I haven't had breakfast yet, and I hate
to do these sorts of things on an empty stomach :-)
