I do it in the same way that I handle FreeBSD systems. I have a single
copy of the tree on a read-only NFS mount. I also have a minimal overlay
tree that is also on a read-only NFS mount with some custom packages. I
can manipulate that copy as I see fit, and it's already at all the
machines. 

I have 26 machines at work currently running Gentoo, 6 of those are
workstations and the rest servers. I'm actually going to be migrating
the workstations back to Redhat due to pressure from users, but the
servers are staying Gentoo.
