Devin Teske & Rick Miller have a fairly extensive explanation on their
blogs on how to create your own modified iso's. Search the archives for
links. Hopefully they can chime in with their respective links.

I the meantime , the following link has somewhat of my own notes for
creating a custom cd;
http://www.amitabhkant.com/custom_iso_with_bsdinstall_in_freebsd/

Does not cover all points, but hopefully should give you a starting point.
My link is only applicable for bsdinstall (9.0  & 9.1) based installers.
