BSDBoy, your emails would be easier to read if you wrapped them... I
have wrapped it for you, to make things nice and easy to read for all.

Well, there is a margemaster script that is used to help automate
upgrades between different versions of OpenBSD. It may have ideas you
can steal. I've lost the address, but it should be available in the
archives, or through google.[1]

There is a program written by GNU, cfengine, to help keep whole rooms of
boxes identical as far as they can be. It might just be the tool you
want. Google again. :)

Another option is to setup one box the way you like, while tracking all
your changes via RCS into a CVS repository. Then, future installs would
allow you to checkout all the changes that you made. Depending on how
much work you put into setting things up, it could be disgustingly easy
to roll out future boxes, and integrate changes into older ones. :)

Hope this gives you some ideas. :)
