I suggest you have a look at NanoBSD in /usr/src/tools/tools/nanobsd.sh. It will build a disk image for you in roughly 1 hour on a fast machine with 4+ processors by doing a complete world. It allows you to regenerate the image and update a running image easily. If you keep your changes separated in /cfg you will find that you can actually work really quickly in this setup (even though not being able to install packages on the image directly is sometimes a bit of a nuisance). We've wrapped that script with a lot of our own stuff and go from initial config to running in VM in less than 5 minutes, 2.5 minutes for an update after that (using an SSD on the host and FreeBSD in a single processor VM generating the image).
