That's what rc.conf.local is for. You can have it sym-link to a file in a directory mounted local (if the machines have disk), or even to machine-specific nfs mounted directories. The advantage is that you keep the things that _are_ equal, such as "world" :-) and installed packages, common to all machines. The configuration itself may vary. The the rc.diskless* stuff.
