in many, but not all, cases, ports from -current will work. even when they can't be used directly they will help a lot. if you can get all the systems to the same OS revision, consider having a package build master which all the machines query for latest versions. pkg_add with PKG_PATH=scp://foo/bar/ works nicely and if you control the packages going to that location you can consider running "pkg_add -u -Fupdate,updatedepends" or similar from cron.
