It almost is. You have to set BINOWN, BINGRP, SHAREOWN and SHAREGRP
to something that you can shown to, and you have to have write permissions
to /usr/obj/your-usr-src or set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX to somewhere you can
write to.

It's almost worked for a year or two. I don't know why I thought there
was no problem with schg flags. schg is currently used for a whole 2
2 files under ${WORLDTMP} (libc.so.M.m and libc_r.so.M.m), and buildworld
by non-root crashes about half way through when the first of these is
installed.
