Subject: Anybody know if there is any way to make ports use different work dir?

    I would like to get my /usr/ports over a read-only NFS mount.  At the
    moment the only way I can compile up any given port is to mkdir work
    and create and mount an MFS filesystem over it.  A union mount might also
    work but union mounts are still somewhat problematic.

    It would be nice if there were a way to tell the ports system to put the
    work directory somewhere other then where it is currently placed.  For
    example, to put it in /usr/obj or something like that.  Has anyone done
    this?
