For 5.1 I was able to create tar files for each type of client by pushing out the client to a dummy host
and tar up  ::--->  "/tmp/bp"

I handed these files over to the line of services who support the OS & hardware...

They just dump the tar file on a host and run the following command  ::--->  sh /tmp/bp/bin/client_config

Then edit the bp.conf to match the env.....  And wa-la....  done...

But alas....  I must be doing something wrong!  This same method isn't working
for 6.5.4.....  

When the tar files are uses we get the following error  ::--->

/tmp/bp/client_config File /tmp/bp/bin_net.tar and/or /tmp/bp/bin.tar.Z is missing on cscecmndc801. Cannot complete the client install. client_config_failed

If I can't use this method.....  which method can I use?

We still use this method with 6.5.4.  I haven't tested it on anything other than RHEL but it's working fine for us.  Here's what my RHEL tarball looks like:

[uxadmin@stp-admin netbackup]$ tar ztf rhel2.6-netbackup-6.5.4.tgz
bp.22354/
bp.22354/bin_net.tar
bp.22354/client_config
bp.22354/java/
bp.22354/java/nbj.conf
bp.22354/java/extract_java
bp.22354/java/NB-Java.tar.Z
bp.22354/java/JRE.tar.Z
bp.22354/bin.tar.Z
bp.22354/move_libs
bp.22354/tar
bp.22354/version
bp.22354/.sizes
