Hi,

If :

(1) your laptop has an Ethernet jack
(2) your laptop supports booting over the network via PXE
(3) you have another fast machine, where you can NFS export a directory
     which has the output of "make buildkernel / make buildworld".

then you can:

(1) compile the kernel on the fast machine
(2) NFS export the directory with the kernel
(3) try to network boot your laptop with that kernel over Ethernet,
      without installing FreeBSD on your laptop.

I am in the middle of writing this document for contribution to the FreeBSD
Handbook:

http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/doc/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-pxe-nfs.html

which describes how to do that.
