Yes - simply install ports as normal: specifically unless you specifically tell the ports system otherwise you will be the maximum amount of supported parallelization. .if defined(MAKE_JOBS_SAFE) || defined(FORCE_MAKE_JOBS) MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER?= `${SYSCTL} -n kern.smp.cpus` _MAKE_JOBS?= -j${MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER} causes ports to be build with the proper number of jobs for your system. If you wish to override this number change MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER. DO NOT manually set -j when running make install from the ports directory.
