How about breaking the ports collection into pieces, or at least breaking away large chunks. I would be quite happy to donate a regular CRON job to build a nominated set of ports (eg: all the security stuff, all shells, teTeX, p5-*, m[y]sql, all four emacsen, and tcl8*/tk8*; I could easily be talked into doing a lot more.) Do that with a few other suckers^h^h^h^h^h^hvolunteers, and the load on Satoshi /et al/ should drop quite a bit for very little effort.
