Me personally, I consider these incidents to be genuine bugs. If more people would use pre-built packages, more reports would come in and we could fix this better. Until such time, you can probably share the ports tree between multiple machines via NFS and run 'make install' on each computer. On the other hand, it is rather seldom, that you find such differences between 'make install' and 'pkg_add'.
