Is it safe to compile multiple ports at the same time ?

I keep a local package repo just for this purpose, and a local meta- 
port to install all those packages in one "pkg_add" command.  I have  
meta ports for each class of server we run (web front end, db server,  
general server, etc.)

No need to build everything on each identical machine...
