The guide should describe the macports.conf setting `buildmakejobs`.
Currently it only says this:
> '''use_parallel_build'''[[br]][[br]]This keyword is for specifying
whether or not it is safe for a port to use multiple cpus or multiple
cores in parallel during its build phase. If a port is declared to be
builadble [sic] this way, the option -j N may be passed to the make
command if parallel builds are enabled system-wide. This can be obtained
by setting buildmakejobs in macports.conf. The integer N refers to the
number of parallel build threads.
But this is in the section on writing portfiles. `buildmakejobs` should
also be mentioned in a section on the conf file. It should also mention
that setting `buildmakejobs` to 0 will cause MacPorts to automatically
figure out how many cores or CPUs are in your computer and use that value.
