Ah yes, if you use make then while you can pre-build build dependency,
there're still problems with other types of dependencies.
I guess there are only two choices: poudriere or disabling pkg-* periodic
scripts. You can run them from cron at another time.

Well, if you work on copy of pkgdb, then you check against and backup
potentially stalled version of db.
