Your MINIMUM_PPS file contains the entire kernel configuration and
unless you want to tweak additional options (compiler flags and
optimization settings for example), there is no need to modify make.conf.

A buildworld takes considerably longer than a kernel build. If a kernel
takes hours, a buildworld could be a few days... you must be using a
very slow machine. A kernel build on my Centrino 1.6GHz takes only a few
minutes.
