Any wheel building techniques that needed adapting to disc brakes surely must have been worked on during the past decade and a half (at least) that MTBs have been using disc brakes, or so I'd think. I've built a few disc wheels myself now along with numerous rim brake wheels. Used the same ages-old techniques which yielded the same good results in either type of build. YMMV.
