What you want to do is softupdates.

You don't need an nfs share, you can use a config space somewhere on
the filesystem of the machine to be installed, or one some subversion
server accessible from the system.

All you need to do then is configure the config space location in
fai.conf and fai softupdate

Check out the documentation parts about softupdates.
