Well, actually there are some settings that might allow you to do this.  
On a very granular level, you can set PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE and manually run 
make in multiple directories.  I've used this with some success in the past.

Another setting that I haven't used, but sounds promising based on 
what's in mk/defaults/mk.conf, is MAKE_JOBS, which adds a -j<whatever> 
to the individual package builds.  However, it says it's experimental, 
so I have no idea how well it works in practice.
