New description:

 environment:
 freshly installed macports on previously updated snowleopard

 behaviour / explanation:
 (viz. attached debug output)

 installing star (archivers) fails due to automatic application of "-j2"
 flag to underlying smake (note: uses not "std." make that
 understands this flag!).

 forcing portage to ignore this "j" flag by adding "use_parallel_build no"
 to portfile solves this problem.

 question:
 if i remember right, it should be the other way round, and the "j" flag
 should have been added if the portfile included a "use_parallel_build
 yes"...
