You might also want to try ccache (http://ccache.samba.org/). Similar idea (related authors!), except that instead of distributing the preprocessor output, it hashes it and uses the hash to pull the object file from a cache. I haven't used it for buildworld, but I do use it for most of my daily development. The overall projects usually contain Perl, MYSQL, openssl, Apache, and others as subprojects. It's especially sweet to see openssl files compiling fast enough that you can't read the output... I understand it also works for the Linux kernel. I don't recall any changes made to my build process to handle this. I did have some issues with the option to link files rather than copy them, but that wasn't a huge loss to turn off.
