I believe this is the ideal, most Hurd-ish design but has not been implemented
yet.

If I'm understanding correctly, you want a Hurd tarball capable of
compiling mig, mach, and the Hurd servers. Something very close to this
already exists at:
alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/gnu-latest.tar.gz
Follow the directions in one of the install guides (links available off
the main hurd page at www.gnu.org/software/hurd) to get it up and running.
