BSD ports system may not be as complex as Gentoo's
and needs more attention to maintain port dependencies
but this "abuse of make" IS REAL FAST.
portage is REAL SLOW.
So you should install/use cdb, which makes the whole rsync/update process REAL
FAST.
If you sync regularly it's usually within 5 min.
it is, with cdb.
Thanks for the hint.
If I got it right here's the link for those interested:

Looks very interesting and I wonder why is it not in portage yet?
