Not exactly. Not all software supports parallel building. Each

Is there any reason why this option isn't documented in the
portfile(7) man page?
You could file a ticket to get it added to the manpage. Though I
thought our manpages were out of date anyway, since we're not yet
shipping the new manpages built with our new documentation system,
due to some problem or other.
