No, there is only one instance running at the same time, but apart from
the usual installations, I use Ruby 1.9 on all machines, I guess Ruby
1.8 is still the default.

But anyway, the long locking time is a bit of frustrating, since it
takes ages for updating large sets of ports (as done recently on FreeBSD
9.1-PRE).
