Was it not doing this before the commit?  I know some things (in the
current setup at least) have to be rebuilt in different ports. For
example we build and install libGL.so in XFree86-4-libraries, but a lot,
if not all, of libGL.so has to be rebuilt to build the DRI client
libraries for XFree86-4-Server.

One thing I plan to look at though is how to reduce, if possible, the
amount of source we are extracting and how much of X we are building
each time.  One thing people have proposed is having a shared source
dir, but I'm not sure how well that would work (And how we would deal
with it in relation to things like portupgrade which like to clean after
installing the port).
