Don't forget that there are two different makes; BSD make does the ports
infrastructure bit, and usually gmake (Gnu Make) does the actual build
and install in the work directory.

IIRC  MAKE_ARGS only goes to the lower-level make (gmake), and aside
from those ports that don't work with -j at all, the failure with
other targets are caused by bsd make i.e. by trying to run the whole
ports infrastructure with -j.
