What you propose works fine, but you should have the /usr/src and /usr/obj directories locally stored on your fast machine for the builds. Then have your slow machine nfs mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from your fast machine, and simply do your make installs from your slow system. The same holds true for /usr/ports. Install/upgrade your ports with the -p (build packages) option on your fast machine, and then on your slow machine install/upgrade them with the -P option (use packages) after nfs mounting /usr/ports.
