You can use freebsd-update by setting up your own update server
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/freebsd-update-server
This can then be paired with poudriere for pkgs - see handbook 4.6
Also be careful setting the CPUTYPE, it has to be the lowest denominator
so that no cpu features are used on a machine without them. This is more
important with poudriere as many ports will configure to the current cpu
features, I think base always targets the lowest cpu specs.
