FWIW, it takes my Raspberry Pi 2 Model B about 15 hours to complete a fresh buildworld with /usr/src and /usr/obj mounted via NFS.  (Times will vary for subsequent builds when WITH_META_MODE is set.)

I've successfully completed {build,install}{world,kernel} on a SD card, too.  My standard method, though, is to cross-build on another system and then upgrade via pkg.

Cheers,
