From the engine compartment, my experience is the same as Cory's, things will f-in' smoke from all the oil and lube on everything. From the tailpipe, don't really know, unless you put a crapload of lube on the rings and valve guides. I guess your turbo seal too.
I've never built a Subaru motor, but I wouldn't idle it too much longer without going out and putting some load on it to seat the rings before the peaks of the hone pattern break down too much. I usually go out and pound the crap out of the engine pretty soon after the first warm-up.

Smoke is coming out the tail-pipe.
I'm going to try to get it down to a dyno ASAP for break-in. I just wanted to make sure it runs before I spend the time to haul it over the hill only to find out it won't start.
