This system has potential energy. The mass changes because of the relative velocity of the objects to the rest of the universe.

Energy is mass. Why do you consider potential energy not to be energy?
The conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy shouldn't cause a change in mass, as far as I know. I haven't seen a convincing arguement stating otherwise.

Sigh. I said:

Could you get those objects to break light speed, using gravity, without them already being inside a black hole?

Things already inside a black hole don't happen -- no outside observer can witness something actually getting inside a black hole, because it blue-shifts out of perception, and hence existance. As such, if the only way to 'break light speed using gravity' was 'already being inside a black hole', this means 'you cannot break the speed of light with gravity'.
