Aaron, I know Jordan Sissel[1] runs his deployment very muhc like this. There's no central puppet master, but packages that install/enforce a particular configuration. As I recall he has a minimal 'base' set that is responsible for ensuring a sane puppet environment, self updating, etc. Most of the traditional configuration is then managed in a 'content' set. One immediate difference is that he's trusting the clients to define which configuration is applied. It sounds like in your instance you'll have a 'base' catalog with no per node definitions instead. Matt Robinson also made a very interesting feature[2]. It uses a puppet master to compile the clients catalog, but then packages the catalog and all required resources in to a discrete tar file. The tar is unpacked on the client then applied with a stand alone 'puppet apply' run. As I recall this feature was actually created for a secure environment where data had to be physically distributed on media. Your use case could certainly package & version these complete catalog sets using RPMs instead of tar.
