If you are using pkgsrc you can just 'make package' in the
	appropriate directory, then copy the binary package(s) across
	to the other machine and 'pkg_add' them.

	I've compiled up apache and postgresql on an 8MB 386, running
	diskless (don't ask), so its really only the disk space issue
	that keeps your 486 from building itself :)
