They could easily use symbolic links to do the following
	cd /usr/local
	cp -rp /usr/local/tet/* /largefs
	rm -rf tet
	ln -s /largefs tet

I do this for example with the squid port.
Or they should get a hook in the port, so that they can build
the port with
	make TET_DIR=/someplace

And if BATCH mode is enabled we default to /usr/local/tet or whatever
(didn't look at the port exactly). But this would be doable without
too much work I think.

     What gives you 90% more speed, for example, in kernel compilation ?
