I would either recommend rsync or NFS to do that job. NFS is less
work, but if your network is wonky you will be in for a world of pain.
In addition startup times of Sage will likely go up by a lot. rsync on
the other hand is a little more work, but if you combine cron and
rsync to run some off duty hours that shouldn't be a problem. When I
did sysadmin work I always preferred the rsync solution over NFS due
to better reliability and better performance.
Apple itself has some software deployment tool, but I don't even
remember the name of it, so somebody else who knows more about it
should let us know.
We should also write some chapter with example scripts for the
documentation, since I am sure this issue will come up again.
