There were a couple of designs and I chose to write a wrapper program to the existing ports infrastructure such that the wrapper such that every build and run-time dependencies are built in parallel prior to target packages. You can find more about it at http://uyota.asablo.jp/blog/cat/portsplus/ I would like to participate to the project as another adviser as it is also my interest. I believe that I can provide good comments and feedback to this project from my experiences. Thanks.
