NFS is so much simpler (if it isn't an installation from a public server) that I would expect it to be common. Given a CD and a bunch of machines, some without CD-ROMs, the simplest way to install the machines without CD-ROMs would seem to be mounting the cd on a machine that can, adding /cdrom -ro to /etc/exports and installing over NFS. Of course there are the little bits of work necessary to activate NFS, but starting the daemons (or SIGHUPing mountd if they're already up) is not hard.
