I've once done it from an old DECstation as client, my i386 as server.

On the server:

export /usr/src readonly

In /usr/src: Be sure that it's a clean checkout, then make obj

On the client:

mount /usr/src from server, readonly
Have some space available as /usr/obj (be it local, be it from an NFS
server, but reserved to that client machine).
make obj
make build.

For the kernel compile that you'll need in the process, see the -b
option of config(8) to place the build tree somewhere outside
/usr/src/sys/arch/<arch>/compile.

Kind regards,

Hannah.
