Hello Forrest,
Take a look at the FreeBSD From Scratch article by Jens Schweikhardt
at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fbsd-from-scratch/in
dex.html.
This article describes my efforts at FreeBSD From Scratch: a fully
automated installation of a customized FreeBSD system compiled from
source, including compilation of all your favorite ports and configured
to match your idea of the perfect system. If you think make world is a
wonderful concept, FreeBSD From Scratch extends it to make evenmore.
It should at least get you going on the right path.
Jason

Subject: Customized/automated FreeBSD Installations
I've been Googling for some information on this (and the Handbook).
We have a scenario whereby we'll be building (over time) several
mostly-identical systems. There are similar tasks that will need to be
performed on those systems (copying over accounts, passwords,
homedirectories), and certain *.conf changes, etc. There has to be a
decent way to accomplish this, other than manually per-system or having
to build a make-release with some customizations.
I have seen GNU CFEngine, but it seems like overkill.
I'd appreciate some recommendations/pointers.
Thanks!
