Yeah, it's in section 19.4.6.2, search for "NFS" in this page:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

It says basically that one may execute make buildworld in machine A,
mount its /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS in machines B and C and just
make installworld there.

I guess that implies you can copy /usr/src and /usr/obj from computer A
to the rest of the network with CDs and continue the process from there.
