Subject:   Flagging ports for "make -j"?

I'm currently updating a string of ports on a dual-ppro box, and
I'm increasingly unhappy that some ports can be compiled with
"make -j<n>", some can't, and there's no way to know unless you try.

How about introducing a Makefile variable that tells whether a port
is j-safe? I guess we could add some Makefile juju to automatically
drop back to -j1 if parallel building is not supported.

Opinions on the general idea?
