I was trying to build the Android operating system for Galaxy Nexus. It took 6 hours to build. Is it normal or does it have to do with my machine(MBP Core2Duo) or am I missing something?

This is bit of a memory bound operation.
Next time you compile try using more threads
or
With 12 GB of memory I was able to compile the android source in like 40 mins.
