If I ignore documentation distfiles (will this affect benchmarks in any
way?), AFAICT the only distribution sets I need are base, proflibs,
kernels and (maybe) lib32. Is there a way to get "make release" to do
just that? I'm open to other suggestions, of course.
To just create a working image you can just do:
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make DESTDIR=/target/directory installworld
make DESTDIR=/target/directory distribution
make DESTDIR=/target/directory installkernel

This doesn't seem to create the distribution sets I want. It just creates
the hierarchy of files which are eventually going to be on the hard-disk on
the clients. I may be wrong, but it seems that to be able to use sysinstall
to install the clients, I need to create distribution sets like the ones
supplied here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/

Ah, I didn't realized you wanted to do that. If you do want to use sysinstall,
then you do indeed to use make release. The various NO* options documented in
the release(7) manpage and the makefile should be useful here.

That said, I can't imagine why you'd want sysinstall to be involved in
a automated benchmark system. Doing what it does using a hand rolled
script is way easier then trying work with it.
