I am using MAKE_JOBS=-j3 (but don't have an override in place yet).

I use ${MAKE_JOBS} in the /mk/bsd.pkg.mk:

         ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_PROGRAM} ${MAKE_JOBS} ${BUILD_MAKE_FLAGS} \
                 -f ${MAKEFILE} ${BUILD_TARGET}

I have built a few packages. I may try this on a bulk build soon.

My mk/defaults/mk.conf has:

#MAKE_JOBS=-j2
# Set to switch and maximum number of jobs for make to run at one time.
# For example: -j17
# Default: not defined
