moving ports to another file system

[Kevin Smith]

After installation and setting up of my BSD system for a while, I've 
come to realize that I probably should have organized my disk a bit 
differently and I have a smaller root file system then I would have 
liked. I may have also created a separate /usr file system, but I have 
/usr in the root file system.

The /usr/ports can take up a lot of space and I'm wondering if there are 
limitations to having ports live in a another files system with a 
symbolic link from /usr/ports to a ports directory in another file system.
