It's far more easy.
Use one machine as master, only on this machine you will use the command
portsnap fetch. Rsync (or whatever preferred) the directory /var/db/portsnap
to all machines where you want to have the portstree available, on this
slaves use only the commands portsnap extract/update. Doing this now on a
couple of machines over a view years without any issues.

But since I'm using more and more pkg together with a central build machine
the portstree is on most of my machines useless.

I don't know what Dough means with portsnap is slower, on machines with not
so many cpu power portsnap was for me always faster then svn update against
a local svn ports mirror.  Maybe he means updates are not at the same time
available a port was committed?
