It seems to be out of step with the way similar problems are handled elsewhere. I would have expected a simple flag that can be set per port using portsconf, pkgtools.conf, etc. This is more of a bikeshed issue, but the term MAKE_JOBS reflects implementation (gmake -j) rather than function, and its meaning isn't obvious the way something like PARALLEL_BUILD would be.
