What would probably be easier would be to build packages on one of the 
machines (the fastest one usually :), then place them in a place where all the 
other machines can access them. Then on each of the machines set the PKG_PATH 
directory to where the packages are (so dependencies can be found), and then 
add all of the packages (in a foreach loop in a piece of shell script).

Make sure all of the package dependencies are built too..
