flash archives are reasonably portable if the hardware is close enough but we've done this and found it highly inconventiant. In particular, a number of additional apps (inlcuding Sun's SRS NetConnect for example) store the hostname in their config during install so changing it later create contradictions.
However, you should be able to create flars larger than 4gb using the default options. Are you sure that's what it stopping you?

newkey
NEWKEY(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NEWKEY(8)
NAME
newkey -- create a new key in the publickey database
SYNOPSIS
newkey -h hostname
newkey -u username
DESCRIPTION
The newkey utility is normally run by the network administrator on the Network Interface Service (NIS) master machine in order to establish
public keys for users and super-users on the network. These keys are needed for using secure RPC or secure NFS .
The newkey utility will prompt for the login password of the given username and then create a new public/secret key pair in /etc/publickey
encrypted with the login password of the given user.
Use of this program is not required: users may create their own keys using chkey(1).
OPTIONS
-h hostname
Create a new public key for the super-user at the given hostname. Prompts for the root password of the given hostname.
-u username
Create a new public key for the given username. Prompts for the NIS password of the given username.
SEE ALSO
chkey(1), keylogin(1), publickey(5), keyserv(8)
NOTES
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the
name has changed.
