I have an Athlon XP 1800 and it took 3 hours. Maybe you need more RAM or the downloads are too slow but something is really wrong.

Have you set MAKEOPTS="-j2" in make.conf? (substitute 2 with number of processors plus one, according to make.conf-comments - I don't know whether HyperThreading counts as an extra processor)
