Hi
   Thank's for reply! pkg_create makes almost instant package which I
can then just do pkg_add -r to retrieve on slower machine. Can also
make package-recursive (from chris) which puts packages 
in /usr/ports/packages. Maybe when I do portupgrade -a on fast
machine I should do portupgrade -ap instead to also build a package.
   Thank's for idea.
