You should do your NFS mount and then cd into somethine like
/usr/ports/devel and do a pwd. If it doesn't say /usr/ports/devel, the
default make will not always work. The same is true on make buildworld
and make installworld on a different system when you use NFS mounts.
There are parameters that you can pass to the makes but a simple make
doesn't work with the environment I tested.
