Not exactly. Not all software supports parallel building. Each port must be tested to ensure that it works. As ports are tested, "use_parallel_build yes" is added to the portfile. Then MacPorts will build those ports using -j$jobs (where $jobs is the number of CPU cores in your computer). This was added for MacPorts 1.6.
