When I do a make buildworld I usually do:

     # make buildworld > /tmp/buildworld.log 2>&1 &
     # tail -f /tmp/buildworld.log

You can roughly gauge the progress by looking at what it's compiling at 
any given moment. When it gets to bits in the .../usr.sbin  directory 
it's pretty close to done.
