Comment (by mascguy):

 This is my temporary hack in bash, to set `buildmakejobs` to 2 before
 running `portindex`. Ugly, but effective:

 {{{
 function my_portindex() {
     gsed -i  's/^buildmakejobs.*/buildmakejobs 2/'
 ~/.macports/macports.conf
     sudo bash -c 'for p in latest enabled ; do portindex
 /opt/macports/sources/ports/${p} ; done'
     gsed -i  's/^buildmakejobs.*/buildmakejobs 0/'
 ~/.macports/macports.conf
 }
 }}}
