If your machines can NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from the machine that's tracking -stable, you can then run 'make installworld' on the other machines, and not need to bother with needing to roll your own release. This may be preferable (it's considerably less effort). See the tutorial at <URL:http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html>; for more details (question 12.5 in particular).
