This is the best way to reproduce > it - buildworld takes to long on this system. On my system (dual PIII 550) I usually do make -j8 buildworld without any problem. For kernel, any value greater than 3 fails, so I usually do a make -j3 buildkernel. For ports I don't use -j at all. Your builworld should work with -j2 or 4, I've run -j3 on a single K6-2 box without problems too. What kind of disks does that machine have? buildworld is pretty io intensive, having fast disks makes quite a difference.
