I usually have a box ("server") which make the make world process, the
others ("clients") only install what the server did :-)

Let's say in advance that I do it _only_ if server and clients run the same
version of FreeBSD.
If yes :

(server) cd /sys/i386/conf
(server) cp GENERIC CLIENT_NAME
(server) edit CLIENT_NAME to suit your needs
(server) config -r CLIENT_NAME (if 3.0) else config CLIENT_NAME
(server) cd ../../compile/CLIENT_NAME
(server) make all 

When it is finished :

(client) mount /usr/src and /usr/obj of the server in /usr/src and /usr/obj
(client) cd /sys/compile/CLIENT_NAME
(client) make install
(client) cd /usr/src  
(client) make installworld (or make reinstall if both are release prior 3.0)
(client) compare /etc/* with /usr/src/etc/* to see if it is changed
something in the scripts
(client) restart

Please check that both systems have the same /etc/make.conf or at least
compatible each other.
Also it could not work if the clients are too much older from the server.
