I suspect, from your earlier message, that your build environment,
although non-standard isn't setup quite right. Are you mounting the
/usr/src and /usr/ports over NFS? Where are you mounting them? What
command are you using to build world?

I frequently build with an NFS mounted /usr/src and /usr/ports. From your
previous post it looks like you are using somewhat different paths, which
although might not be a problem, it might if your object directory is
different and you aren't using it in all the commands.

If the machine is too small to hold the src and ports trees, is it large
enough to hold /usr/obj?

I would suggest the following. On your 'big' host, export a directory to
use as /usr/ports, another as /usr/src, and if needed another as /usr/obj.
On the 'small' host, NFS mount those directories to /usr/src, /usr/ports
and /usr/obj. Then you can build and install just as if they weren't NFS
mounted, which makes it somewhat easier to not forget to set make
variables. When you reboot though, you won't be able to do the
'installworld' from single user unless you bring up your networking
components and NFS mounts first.
