If you're not upgrading, you can add this line in /etc/make.conf:

NO_MODULES=true

This will signifigantly reduce kernel compile time. As an alternative, you
can use MODULES_OVERRIDE, where you can list the modules you need and then
only those are built.

Example:

MODULES_OVERRIDE= vinum ntfs splash vesa

...so on and so forth
