Yes.

You need the contents of DESTDIR. That is, you could build the base
system using './build.sh -U -D /usr/dest distribution' and then install
it using './build.sh -U -D /usr/dest install=/'. Note that this does not
install a new kernel. Alternatively, you could './build.sh release' in
order to build all sets and then unpack them manually. In both cases,
I'd use pkgsrc/sysutils/etcupdate for updating /etc (and /dev, /root,
/var).
