You could try ElectricAccelerator, a distributed, high-performance reimplementation of GNU make. It uses lightweight automatic virtualization to handle filesharing between participating computers, as well as some clever technology to ensure correct parallel builds even if your dependencies are incomplete. It's a commercial product, but you can download and try ElectricAccelerator Huddle, the freemium variant.

Alternatively you could try something like distcc, which can distribute gcc (and gcc-like) compile commands to remote systems, in conjuction with good-old gmake -j.
