I don't think so.=20

It's more important to speed builds of individual packages,
rather then speed up builds of package batches. I admit I'm more
interested in cutting firefox or openoffice (re)build time, rather then
ability to build many packages faster.

Don't waste time implementing a framework to build several packages
parallely IMHO. Building individual packages using multiple paralell
jobs will yield bigger benefit for all pkgsrc users, and not just
buik builds.
