I've been using something very much like that to build NetBSD since  
the 1.6 days.  There may have been a few other tweaks necessary, but  
at least for building on a NetBSD host itself it works very well.  My  
build.sh wrapper script starts out with:

$ head /usr/src-1.6/mybuild.sh
#! /bin/ksh

# make sure we start out with a very clean environment!
#
if [ -z "$MYBUILD_CLEAN" ]; then
        exec env -i USER=${USER} SHELL=/bin/ksh MYBUILD_CLEAN=true  
"$0" ${1+"$@"}
fi

# XXX ksh is needed because of ${var:+$var} quoting bugs
#


(I can send the whole wrapper script, plus all my local patches to the  
source tree itself, or at least to makefiles and such, if you'd like  
to help sort out what's necessary to make the build work in a clean,  
reproducible, environment.)
