When is it safe to use -jX with make?

The handbook recommends using -j4 with 'make buildworld'. 

Can the kernel be safely built with -jX?

Searching the archives I came across a discussion from december concluding ports should not be built with -jX. Does this apply to all ports? How can I find out, other than by trial-and-error, which ports can be built with -jX?

Cheers,
