No patches necessary. We do this all the time at work, and it works
fabulously. I do this for disk based systems that have / and /usr on
the same file system too.

A similar approach could be used for /(s)bin: lump several programs
together

The same approach is used in creating sysinstall related binaries or
in PicoBSD. The utility is called crunchgen(1).
The examples section even features ways to do exactly that with /sbin.

I just link bin and sbin dynamically when I want to make a small
image. Works great, no hacks needed so long as / and /usr are the
same partition, which they are on the CF's I make. A minimally
bootable FreeBSD system is on the order of 6MB uncompressed.
