Ed, My recommendation is build in one place, deploy to the other machines, and then test on the other machines.
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psexec.shtml Your NAnt file gets a: <exec program="${psexec}" commandline="\\${server} ${command}" failonerror="false" /> There's your kickoff. ${command} can be another NAnt script, NUnit, any command line. Then you can copy the files locally (you know what server they're on and where they're stored) from \\server\c$\<path> and munge them together into one file if you so desire. I'm assuming you have admin permissions on all your test hardware.
