As was already pointed out, ports do not compile with make -j X by default. You can do so for ports that will build cleanly (not all of them will), by adding something similar to the following to your make.conf: .if ${.CURDIR:M*/ImageMagick*} MAKE_ARGS+=-j4 .endif A while back I found which ports I had installed that would play nice with make -j, so I updated make.conf with a bunch of similar entries to the above. Works fairly well, and there are actually quite a few ports that will compile with make -j. If you're interested, let me know and I'll throw my make.conf up somewhere.
