I haven't tried it, but perhaps you could cvs co/cvsup the -current tree to,
say, /usr/current, then use the DESTDIR knob to installworld/installkernel
to your target mount.  See jail(8) for more ideas, including how to
initialise /etc.  If it doesn't work, file a PR :)

I don't see why not. 5.0 will happily mount a UFS partition created
by 4.X.
