Use a jailed environment for this (unless it's not possible due to
low-level kernel building requirements (in which case they should
have a machine for their own anyway))
Have a single jail for system-ports building which afterwards copies
the package to /pkg directory which is via nullfs mapped on the
/pkg directories of the other jails.
