To enable parralel port building, utilizing more than one core (which most machines have today), add the following to /etc/make.conf:

FORCE_MAKE_JOBS=yes
MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=4

The number 4 is how many jobs should run at once (-j4 to make) - I normally use double the number of cores. This way my CPU is fully utilized when building ports; the bottleneck is the disk, as it should be.
