I've done a similar thing since 2003 without ill effects. For
completeness I also have (in make.conf):
WRKDIRPREFIX=/var/ports # when I perform a rebuild, I simply delete the
subdirs
DISTDIR=/distfiles # so all the distfiles are in one place
PACKAGES=/packages # same for the outputs.
It also allows the use of multiple devices.
