Ports with distcc

[Jacob S. Barrett]

Has anyone really looked into the feasibility of adding distcc support to the 
ports system?  I realize that not all ports support concurrent make, but 
those that do could potentially take advantage of it.  What I propose is a 
flag in the port Makefile, SUPPORTS_MAKE_CONCURRENCY.  Then users could add 
WITH_MAKE_CONCURRENCY to make.conf to build ports that support it with make 
concurrency.  Then an additional WITH_DISTCC flag in make.conf to use distcc 
when making with concurrency.

I made a minor change to bsd.ports.mk to do this and it seems to work pretty 
well.  Here is my patch to bsd.ports.mk.  What do you guys think?
