It would work since the build time is already pretty long. My
things-to-do list around pkgsrc is long enough that I don't think I'll
figure it out soon. The one gotcha for anyone who may try this (and I'd
sure appreciate it) is that you must not upload any file that is listed as
restricted in its Makefile. The pbulk system checks for this at time of
upload; that check would need to stay.
