When focus stacking for a landscape, do you move the entire camera on a rail like you would do for a macro focus stack?

No. One method is to just focus for the foreground and then for infinity with good overlap in the middle ground. Bring the images in as layers (or export to Photoshop as layers from Lightroom), align the images in Photoshop and then create a mask with one of the layers and mask in, say, the distant background.

And don't underestimate the potential damage of a klutz with an electric grinder!
