You don't need to copy.  Just NFS-mount /usr/src from your master onto
all the others.  In fact, if you also share /usr/obj (or set
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX appropriately so they all point to the same place),
you can even buildworld on one, and just run "installworld" on all the
others and skip the extra compiles.
