If you are on a dialup connection like I am.  I just use screen (ports/misc/screen).

Create a new screen instance then do make install clean then hold down ctrl and hit D.

I would be deattached and it'll be compiling in the background.  When I want to check the status of
it, I would resume the screen.  Fairly simple.
