Transistion from single server

What is the process if someone wants to add NLB later? Is there an
easy way to reconfigure the session management and view manager to
seperate machines after one has already set everything up on a single
server?

You can actually setup NLB with a single server. The primary requirement is
that you have two network cards; one for the main network and a second for a
heartbeat network. Setting up NLB isn't too hard but if you don't have much
experience I recommend playing with a few virtual machines (use Virtual PC,
Virtual Server, or VMWare) to set it up a few times.

As I said, you can setup NLB even with a single web server and Microsoft
actually recommends this. The reason Microsoft recommends this is it makes
it easy for you to add a second NLB web server at a later time with no
downtime.

Sessions Manager is easy to repoint using EditSite.

Views Processing would need to be changed in the Registry. For more
information on the related registry entries, check Chapter 10 of the
Installation Guide.

Hope this helps.
