I'm not keen on the way MAKE_JOBS_WHITELIST is implemented as a list.
It seems to be out of step with the way similar problems are handled
elsewhere. I would have expected a simple flag that can be set per port
using portsconf, pkgtools.conf, etc.

This is more of a bikeshed issue, but the term MAKE_JOBS reflects
implementation (gmake -j) rather than function, and its meaning isn't
obvious the way something like  PARALLEL_BUILD would be.
