> Ideally you could do the build on machine X with arch Y and then install them on machine Z with arch W. However, that doesn???t currently work. There???s about a day or two of fiddling to make it work. It used to work, but this was in the 4.x or early 5.0 time frame???

I do this now w/ make installworld -DNO_ROOT DESTDIR=<somedir>, then
you can tar it up w/ something like
cd <somedir>; tar -czf world.tar.gz @METALOG

And then transfer it to the machine and extract it... been working great,
though not necessarily the "standard" way of doing it...
