No.
What you do (after installing screen from the ports):

1. You log in to your unix machine.
2. You start screen by typing "screen" :)
3. You will get another prompt. You are now inside a screen terminal.
   You can start the build here or do whatever you want..
4. Press Ctrl-A, then press d.
5. You will see "[detached]" and you are back to your login prompt.
   You can now logout and come back later. If you type "screen -r" you
   will be right in the screen where you were...

You can also create new "screens" and switch between them (Ctrl-A, C to
create; Ctrl-A space to switch)... "Ctrl-A ?" for more help!
