one more option is to build sets with
./build.sh <your_favorite_flags> distribution sets kernel=your_config

then reboot to alternative system (I reboot to NetBSD residing on wd0e)
save your /etc files, remove base system directories,
untar sets with -p flag, copy kernel to /,
restore your /etc files, run (cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV;)
Of course all that can and should be automated by custom script.

By restoring /etc files I do not mean blindly copying all /etc files,
but only those locally modified.  Actually I keep them symlinked
to other location.
At this stage you may want to rebuild sendmail.cf from .m4 file,
and other local stuff.
