No, building everything does not require superuser rights.
I usually build my src/ snapshots as 'build', at /home/build, by
something similar to:
# su - build
build$ MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/build/obj ; export MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
build$ rm -fr obj/*
build$ cd src
build$ ( make buildworld && make buildkernel ) 2>&1 | tee ~/logfile
There are a few places where the build path is recorded, i.e. in the
output of uname
# uname -v
FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Mon May 5 00:43:56 EEST 2008 [EMAIL
PROTECTED]:/home/build/obj/home/build/src/sys/KOBE
but other than this, there should be nothing that prevents you from
building as any non-root user.
