Thanks.   I'm assuming on the slow install system I have to keep 
/usr/src and /usr/obj mounted from the fast build box on their "correct" 
directories (ie, over the local system's /usr/src and /usr/obj) 
otherwise I'll have problems.

As the other person who replied pointed out, nfs mounting /usr/src and 
/usr/obj from the slow system to the fast system would nullify a lot of 
the speed advantage (although it is 100% GigE), but would let me keep 
the working /usr/src and /usr/obj on the slow machine, which is the one 
that is actually getting used.

On a somewhat related question, which FreeBSD install choice gives me 
enough development tools to "make installworld" if I have /usr/src and 
/usr/obj nfs mounted from a full source system but doesn't actually 
burden the system in question with unnecessary components?
