CHUD is part of the instrumentation, I think (Computer Hardware
Understanding for Developers; if it hasn't been folded into DTrace then it
is at least *used* by DTrace). You may want to look for "Instruments",
which is part of XCode and makes using DTrace to figure out what a process
is doing much easier.
In any case, I would be interested to see what happens if you turn off
multiple jobs. I wouldn't necessarily assume that psynch_cvwait doesn't
use CPU, by the way; busywaiting is often used for what are expected to be
short delays waiting on a mutex. ("port install ... build.njobs=1", IIRC)
