You can examine the buildbot logs too, and see that they contain the line:


--->  Building qt5-mac
DEBUG: Executing org.macports.build (qt5-mac)
DEBUG: port disallows a parallel build


Indeed, the portfile contains these lines:


    # More testing is required to see if this is necessary.
    use_parallel_build no


In the absence of such lines, the buildslaves use a large number of parallel jobs.
