You could've spoke up in ports/148754 about your concern in order for
portmgr@ to notice. The PR strived to be less intrusive than divorcing
build jobs from make jobs. Besides, I think adding more clutter to
Makefiles defeats purpose of having stuff in bsd.port.mk.

Hardcoding kern.smp.cpus and ignoring MAKE_JOBS_SAFE/UNSAFE doesn't seem
like a less hacky solution. I'd argue that it's more confusing because
MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE is not equal to DISABLE_MAKE_JOBS.
