Yes, which is why you shouldn't do it that way.

make -j2 [target] && make install clean

won't try and run the install or clean targets in parallel.

[target] should be 'buildworld' or 'buildkernel' for compiling
world/kernel.

For ports, parallel compilation isn't likely to work for a lot of
ports so you shouldn't complain if it fails; but if you want to try it
then you can use what Pete suggested.
