First post eh, consider me a lurker of sorts.

Anyway, reading your post TerryP made me ask a question related to the original point in ways. I understand you compile from source on one machine and make those build packages of some use on another machine etc.

As I've seen myself building everything from Ports with basic Make.conf optimizations, would you or, anyone reading, happen to have any tips or tricks on compiling on one machine and using them later on or on a another machine?
