Well, if you NFS mount /usr/{obj,src}, you don't really need to "push" them. I think I sketched how I do this between 3 - 10 days ago, so that should be in the -stable archives. And others have discussed this sort of thing, as well. Depending on the number of the boxes (and their ability to netboot), you may find alternatives, such as some of the stuff that Alfred Perlstein has posted about, to your liking. Doug Ambrisko put something similar together here which I've used (and hacked a bit).
