Correct has been that way since the beginning of time (well since I 
started using it at .14).

Are you making Gentoo builds or do you have a masochistic streak in you 
a mile wide that you don't just use the packages available through 
ATRPMS?  If it is the former Gentoo allows you to build a binary package 
which you could distribute to your 4 frontends assuming they are all the 
same platform.  This might save you some time.  The other thought is to 
not restart the mythbackend/mythfrontend until all 4 are done building.  
That's what I do and haven't had any problems with it as of yet.
