I don't think it would work. The installs are going into their chosen places such a /usr/local/bin and an nfs_mount is not going to look like that. I think you would have to be on the system you are installing them on just like you do when you do an installworld from an nfs_mounted fs. You can nfs_mount your ports directory. When you do the make package route, you have to create /usr/ports/packages and everything is stored in .../packages/All. You can mount the distfiles but then you have to consume resources and build them. A build of KDE-2 can take hours. When you build a package, it takes hours on one machine and less than 15 minutes to do the pkg_add installs on the other machines.
