The tricky bit, as far as I can see, is going to be the file
sharing. In particular, when the laptop is plugged back in to the
network, any changes made to shared files while the laptop was away
(regardless of whether those changes were made on the laptop or on
the network) should be integrated.
That sounds like the coda filesystem, which is included as part of the
distribution (there is also a reference at www.freebsd.org/projects).
As I understand it, it requires a machine dedicated to being the coda
server, and it has this itsy 100 MB cache on the clients, but it might
meet your needs.
