There are a couple of solutions involving NFS that could be used, if
you've got the bandwidth. eg: You could make all the base file-systems
read-only, and mount the run-file-system over NFS; or you could make
the kiosks mount everything except the root-file-system over NFS.
If I recall correctly, there are examples available in the Handbook.

Put a script in /etc/ttys that starts up X and runs firefox; maybe
`startx && firefox'?
Cheers.
