We actually use a combination of NAnt and MSBuild with CruiseControl. NAnt is used for script flow control and calls MSBuild to compile projects. After the physical build is triggered, NAnt is used to publish the individual project build outputs to a shared location.

I am not sure this is the best process. I think many of us are still looking for a great build tool. One promising thing I heard recently on .NET Rocks, episode 362, is James Kovac's PSake, a build system he based entirely on PowerShell. It sounds really promising since what you can do with PowerShell is fairly limitless in theory.
