I was under the impression that all build scripts were simply single-threaded.
Including the following in mk.conf should help a bit:
MAKE_FLAGS+=-j5
Last time I uncommented it in my setup though, it made many packages break
during compilation.

COPTS+=-g
INSTALL_UNSTRIPPED=yes
These are good too so that people don't need to recompile to get helpful
debugging info.
