That's how I do it too.  A pwd in a directory like
/usr/ports/sysutils/apcupsd shows the same on all
machines.

Just for grins I tried a make clean ; make; make
install on one of the slow boxes.  When I did a
make install on the other slow box then it
"worked", i.e., it installed the port.  So why
is a make on one machine recognized and not
another?  Strange to a mere mortal like me.
