Of course it isn't, that's why you can build on a master server
(make buildworld), then mount the src and obj directories over NFS
and install (make installworld).

Yes, please implement it. :)

Yup and yup, subscribe to the security mailing list and the CVS
mailing list, take special note of all changes done to RELENG_4
(-stable) when you see any special ones that you think may be
essential, then run your update.
Also, running a local cvsup-mirror is as easy as:
cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror && make install
answer a few questions... and you're set.
