How long have you left it?

'make install' on x11/gnome can certainly take a while, as it wanders
through its dependency lists, adding itself to +REQUIRED_BY in the
relevant /var/db/pkg/* directories.

Depending on other factors (memory, softupdates, etc.) a considerable
chunk of this work may be carried out without disk activity per se.

For reference:

	anaconda 628# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
	anaconda 629# time make install
	...
	13.567u 14.845s 0:25.76 110.2%  156+300k 0+10io 0pf+0w

25 seconds wall clock.  This is on a dual Xeon/400, 512Mb,
SCSI disks + softupdates with a few local bsd.port.mk modifications.
