Yes, it does.
and if not, where can I configure that?

build_make_jobs in macports.conf. "0" means as many cores as are available, though the number is reduced if you have less RAM. Individual ports might disable parallel building if they are known to be incompatible with it.

It was commented out, so I set it to 3 (on a MB Pro with 4 GB RAM)

buildmakejobs           3

FYI, when it is commented out, the default is "0".
