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. It will only hurt,
