I forgot to mention what we *do* support.  We support NFS
mounting remote /, /usr, and /var partitions, and doing an
installworld/installkernel with DESTDIR pointing to NFS
mounts.  This will result in missing file flags (NFS does
not support them), but otherwise it's what we actually
support: host doing build is the host doing an install.
