When I had to something like this I went with option 3. It's not
completely automated as you say because of /etc/(make|src).conf but
there are no better options at the moment because /usr/obj is not
"self contained" because its contents and interpretation depends on
auxillary files, the /etc/make.conf and /etc/src.conf files.
