Not exactly. Not all software supports parallel building. Each port must

"use_parallel_build yes" is added to the portfile. Then MacPorts will build those ports using -j$jobs (where $jobs is the number of CPU cores
in your computer). This was added for MacPorts 1.6.

Is there any reason why this option isn't documented in the
portfile(7) man page?

BTW, gcc42 which is flagged as parrallel safe breaks for me at destroot. So it might happen that stuff that works on 2 cores fail with more cores.

Well, how many cores do you have, and what error are you getting?
