Yes, maintain your ports/sources on a central machine, and use NFS to
export the /usr/src, /usr/obj, and /usr/ports directories.  I do this
because my 'build' machine is faster than most of the clients I have, so
buildworld is less painful on the build machine, and then I use NFS to
installworld on all the other machines.
