Setting MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER_LIMIT=2 seems to have the desired effect. Still,
top reports four c++ processes, but only two are running and swap use 
seldom exceeds 1GB at worst. So far, that's been enough to prevent stalling.

Editing /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk looks like it'll affect all ports;
what's the convention for making the change local to www/chromium only?

Thanks for your patience!
