This looks like it might be exactly what you're looking for:
http://9legacy.org/9legacy/doc/simh/v8
Steps to start with a 4.1BSD base in simh and use that to ultimately produce a V8 system.
I haven't audited these instructions myself, so YMMV, but I suspect someone
wouldn't go through the hard work if this didn't do anything.
That said, your original posting mentions the PDP-11, but also "Berkeley Unix
Nodes". For the latter, do you mean VAX? These instructions are for VAX too, I
don't know whether V8 ran on PDP-11 or not, but if that's your intent, you may
want to start with a 2.xBSD or V7 as a base instead.

I'm mainly curious if the V8 code works. I haven't examined it at all,
so I have no idea.
For reference, I have a disk image with 4.1BSD patched and ready to
run with SIMH here:
http://lars.nocrew.org/tmp/Chaotic-4.1BSD.tar.bz2
I collected all the bits and pieces here and intended to make
an expect script to install, patch, and build everything. I didn't
the script but all the stuff should be here:
