Nope: /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf.sample reports that it enables
more than one process per cpu:

# By default MAKE_JOBS is disabled to allow only one process per cpu
# Use the following to allow it anyway   
# ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS=yes

Even when MAKE_JOBS is otherwise disabled:

# List of packages that will always be allowed to use MAKE_JOBS      
# regardless of ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS. This is useful for allowing ports 
# which holdup the rest of the queue to build more quickly.
#ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS_PACKAGES="pkg ccache py*"
