OK, that was it.  My iptables was fine...  But my server box is in a rather restricted 
part of our network.  Another machine was filtering out my packets.

So...  I made an SSH tunnel from my client to the helper box:
  ssh -N -L 3632:<volunteer>:3632 -l me <volunteer>

changed the client's helper list
  distcc-config --set-hosts "127.0.0.1"

set my -j parm to "-j", and went to town!  :-)

This was the best time yet to emerge xlockmore:
real    4m28.409s
user    2m23.640s
sys     1m28.700s

I grabbed the newer one and compiled it myself on the helper (Redhat 7.3) box, whereas 
I used a gentoo ebuild on my laptop.

Thanks!
