Hello Alexander, I have been working on a program (available via ports-mgmt/portbuilder) that handles concurrent installation of ports. It doesn't change the port infrastructure but manages the build process via python. The program has strong similarities to your project's objectives.
It also has some interesting features like allowing one to install ports via packages or pkgng repositories as well as directly via ports (and the order of preference and fallback methods can be controlled). I am open to sharing my experience and insight with you, to assist you in your project.
