Just for kicks I tried doing a 'make -j4 buildkernel' with KERNEL=SNP40 in /etc/make.conf and /boot/loader.conf. It works, that is the make finished without crashing. I dunno if the binary works, nor if the compile was substantially faster. So, superficially, parallel make of a kernel does work.
Yes, there is no reason why this should not work.
It sure consumed a lot of resources for a few minutes though. My SETI run ran sloowly.
Well, wouldn't you kind of expect this given what you asked the system to do (namely run 4 tasks at once)? However, -j4 is often slightly faster even on uniprocessor systems than -j1 (or "no -j") because it doesn't have to wait on Disk I/O. YMMV, of course.
