pbulk+distcc works for me, with this in /etc/mk.conf:

.for DISTCCDEPS in sysutils/checkperms pkgtools/digest devel/distcc devel/popt devel/libtool-base devel/gmake devel/m4 pkgtools/cwrappers
.   if ${PKGPATH} == ${DISTCCDEPS}
IGNORE_DISTCC=  yes
.   endif
.endfor

.if !defined(IGNORE_DISTCC)
    PKGSRC_COMPILER=distcc gcc
    DISTCC_HOSTS=<host>:3633
.endif
