  Watching the output and some sed revield an interesting inefficiency:

/var/pkg/lib/texmf/web2c/luatex/luatex.fmt and 
/var/pkg/lib/texmf/web2c/luatex/dviluatex.fmt were both rebuilt 2647 times, 
pdftex/pdftex.fmt, pdeftex/pdfetex.fmt and pdftex/etex.fmt were rebuilt 1008 
times each.

  /var/pkg/lib/texmf/ls-R contained these files quite often.  Some part of the 
install script seems to mess this up.  I've recreated that file (ls -R > ls-R) 
and we're down to about 3 minutes per hyphen package.  (Still rather long for 
installing a few files, so this begs further cleanup!)

yours,
dillo
