As far as I know, hacking .mk files directly is not a recommended
method.  Make variables and the /etc/make.conf should be used.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Well, an NFS between the two machines could be set up.  I am not an
expert in this topic, but it might work in my opinion.

You can find more information about building and installing web site and
documentation in the FDP Primer [1], and you can read about NFS in the
Handbook [2].  The original idea could also be found there [3].

(Hm, a topic for yet another tentative subsection in the Handbook :))
