The small dive unable to hold a ports & src is able to hold its own /usr/obj 
dir which it has in /usr/obj

The "Big" machine has the ports an src setup exactly like the "small" machine 
does so when mounting it over nfs i have the option to do the buildworld on 
the "Big" machine then do the installworld on the "small" machine.

My Big machine is somewhat setup in a similar way running 4.10-STABLE i 
remotely mount the ports an src dir's and do the neccessary updates 1 a week 
and it hasnt given me any hassles.
