(as a side note, this bug has me wondering: instead of having just a binary yes/no for use_parallel_build, what about allowing Portfiles to set a maximum number of build jobs? 16 is probably too many here, but turning parallel build off completely here and limiting it to just a single job would probably also take too long... maybe just 4 jobs would work?)

you can try easily -- set it in macports.conf

# Number of simultaneous make(1) jobs to use when building ports. If set
# to 0, the number of jobs will be the lesser of:
# - number of automatically-detected CPU cores
# - gigabytes of physical memory + 1
#buildmakejobs       	0

You can certainly lower the number of build.jobs in a Portfile.

build.jobs    [expr {${build.jobs} > 4 ? 4 : ${build.jobs}}]
