I'm compiling ports once, on my main box, then using pkgng to build
binary packages ('pkg create').
These packages are on an NFS share, which the other machines use with
'pkg add <your binary>'. As an example, libreoffice-3.5.7.txz installed
(with 28 not-already-installed dependencies pulled in automatically from
the same directory) in *56 seconds*. The main box has 3GB RAM, the second
has 1MB.
