If you're committed to rolling your own distro and joining the likes of those listed at http://lwn.net/Distributions/ then I'd recommend Debian as a good starting point.
But I'd echo Jakob's comments - I don't see much value in building a "cluster distribution". It would be far more valuable to document how to install a standard distro on a cluster - either your KUbuntu, standard Ubuntu or any distro of your choice (I keep meaning to do this myself for work we've done with Debian in the past but the time to do so keeps getting away from me).
