That is plain not true. The numbers of ports that need root to fetch and
build can be counted on one hand, and need to be fixed. We have QAT
builds that check it:
http://package19.nyi.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=103i386-default-build-as-user&build=428533

poudriere-devel defaults as doing everything as a non root user (default
nobody), except executing all the -depends target, as they need to
install stuff in LOCALBASE.
