I did it this way on a couple of machines, by NFS mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj off the build machine. I already had perl installed on the 3.3-RELEASE machine, and was able to do it without the -DNOPERL. I did find that I needed to manually install "zic" beforehand, as installworld uses an option that the old "zic" does not have.
