If I understand what you are asking, I would suppose that starting
# emerge C
in one terminal, and then
# emerge B
in another, will result in package B being built twice, as, if I'm not
mistaken, portage only looks at dependancies once
If you are certain that packages you want to emerge have no comon
dependancies or dependant functions, it is generally safe to emerge
them at the same time. If you are not positive, don't take the
chance. Fixing problems you might create may more than use up the
time you might have saved.
