Never tried it myself but..
Start by reading the handbook and developers handbook as guidelines. 
Also see things like the contents of /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd and 
/usr/src/release/* as well as ports like sysutils/freesbie and 
sysutils/livecd. http://romana.now.ie/writing/customfreebsdiso.html may 
also be useful.
