--- Comment #1 from Gerald Pfeifer <gerald at FreeBSD.org> ---
I agree with most of this.  (Using one's toolchain C++ run-time library
with binaries built by the other is probably tougher and more fragile
than the benefit.)

This is a clear case where having the ability to easily break one port
into several binary packages (as RPM has been doing for quite a while)
would be great.  

Once we have this, certainly worth a try.  Before that, and for the
time being, I won't be able to make this a priority.
