If they're similar (don't have to be identical) you can set up one box, and then just copy the filesystem to the others. Just create the same partitions on each box. (I use the gentoo live cd to boot the second machine, and copy over the network [make sure you do it as root on both sides to preserve permissions]; or alternatively, I've also taken out a hard drive and done a direct hd to hd copy.) All you have to do then on each machine is edit /etc/fstab (maybe), edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (maybe) and install grub. Reboot and you're away! It's not quite an "unattended install", but the copy process can go for a while, which leaves you time to go and eat lunch or whatever. I've even set up a DVD with a copy of the filesystem on it, and it wouldn't be too much further from there to write your own install dvd.
